are you just letting us know? I broke one on mine two years back added some more spring presure in the front and havent broke one since yet. not sure if that was the cause or not but have had no problems since. I did have my shocks set very loose and i figured that must have been why it broke.I still have them set low but notas low as before.

I have a drawer full of broken ones. Put a 13mm bar on last year with all new bushings everywhere, but what happens is you hit something with one ski and it 'tries' to twist and pick the other up...sometimes it just doesn't work out well!!!! Believe me..with low shock pressure, you really need a swaybar!

I also have the 13mm sway bar installed i put it in when i replaced the link. maybe that is why it has not broke since.

I think I have 10, 11 12 and now the 13 mm bar..could be wrong, but there's a few..I know the 12 broke last year, and I think that was the best combo for handling with the fox floats around 30 pounds unloaded....a little more roll, but a little less darty...we rode last night, and the sled is super tight below 60 mph with the 13, new bushings, new scags (on the curve skis) and a rear spring tightening to the 3rd slot....but fast??? It is super stable. Just steers a little harder with little lift at lower speeds. I think if you hit anything just right, any of them will break.
