2000 Blazer LT 4WD. Wife drives it most of the time. Just happened to notice this when I got home a few days ago. Both of these are hanging down (one on each side) and I haven't the slightest idea what they are. Much appreciation to anyone that might be able to identify them so I can diagnose and fix. Thanks all!

Edit: Now that I look at it some more, is this yhe front sway bar? If it is, it's obviously come loose from wherever it was fastened.

 

yep, new sway bar end links are in order. Cheap, easy fix

 

Thanks!

You think not just the links, but a new bar as well?

 

Bar is fine, just links

 

Easy to install new ones sure. Sometimes getting the old ones off can be a bare. Mine were rusted solid to the point where they just snapped off after trying to turn them with a small breaker bar...

 

LOL,

Well, depends on how bad the ends are ground down...


... and what the attachment on the lower arm looks like. There is a reason why it let go.

I would in any case no longer drive the car. Hold it up with cable binders or such and start spraying the bolts which hold the rubber supports with penetration oil.
