    I was going through more boxes in the garage this weekend and found another rear sway bar link that fits the GT4, 3x8, and Mondial. About a year ago I advertised a pair of rear sway bar links which ended up going to an Fchatter in Australia. Several folks PM'd me after the sale asking if I had any others available. I did find one which ended up going to a local Fchat friend. Unfortunately, I cleaned out my Inbox since then so I don't have the contacts for the folks that were still interested (I think there were two or three people). Anyway, if you're one of those people that was looking for a spare rear sway bar link, I have one: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/ferrari-parts-collectibles/535270-rear-sway-bar-link-gt4-308-328-mondial.html

    This is the suspension part most prone to damage. The price, most dealers charge confirm this. When I broke the first one I started to collect these items, whenever there was one available.
    The picture below shows the result after a deep road hole. In twenty years I broke two.

    Yep mine showed up with one broken. About $350 from the dealer way back 12+ years ago. I grabbed a couple off ebay when I saw them but I think I sold 'em last year. They are magnesium by the way.

    I just tested mine since they are on the bench and they are definitely aluminum.

    How do you know that? Mine are so light, I also thought they are magnesium.

    Vinegar test. Poured some vinegar on a freshly cleaned up section and got nothing... no reaction at all. Magnesium would have reacted.
