We have a 96 Ford Windstar minivan. The mechanic said the stabilization bar is broken. How dangrous would it be to drive even around town with it? I believe highway driving is out of the question, but am wondering if it would be okay to drive at slow speeds (Under 30 MPH) just around town until we get the money to get this fixed?
I tried looking on line to get a price estimate. Are stabilization bars the same thing as anti roll and sway bars?
A front stabilizer bar is the same thing as a front sway bar. You wouldn't catch me driving a top heavy vehicle without a sway bar and solid end links. Ford has had more than their share of roll-overs with their roof heavy four wheel SUV's and vans *with front sway-bars. A van is the worst of the worst as far as top heavy goes. If you must drive it, "creep" around corners in town and stay away from speeds over 25 MPH.
You most likely could find one at a dead-car and truck cemetery for $15.- $20.00. They're super easy to install.
