The hole on the side of the pipe is the lower o2 sensor. After the cat.
For the top sensor you need an o2 sensor removal tool. I rented one from autozone. I tried to buy one and stripped it. If you have an autozone close go rent one.
Was it long or short? The fronts are long, about 13" or so. Backs are short, about 4".
Did you upgrade the sway bars?
It could be as simple as he tightened them and they snapped. Those parts do rust quick.
He probably says not to be concerned because he didn't tighten the end links back up. It may not be broken at all. I would inspect the end links and the bar for damage and wear.
I was on the fence between the 2. They are so similar that it's kind of a stupid reason.... I went with the NZXT due to the case. I figured since I was using a NZXT case and all.
Thanks for this link. Very informative and a great resource. Ive got something together now and Im getting close to pulling the trigger. What do you guys think of this?

I'm still debating between the i7-6700k and the i7-5820k. This is a workstation build...
That's what I'm doing now. My heads starting to swim a bit with all the research. I would like to stay around 1,000 max $1,500. I want something serious enough to handle multiple 3D drawings and renderings but I haven't been a real gamer in years.
I'm thinking of building my own pc. My wife's probably going to start working from home so she can stay home with our daughter. We're architects + designers so we do a lot of graphics and high end processing. I'm thinking it's going to be an almost gaming rig. I've never built my own pc...
Strain is relative, that's why you use a torque wrench.
When the car is up in the air you should hand tighten. You shouldn't have to strain to do this. Example would be an un braced rear wheel. If the parking brake is not on and the wheel is up in the air it will spin. Hand tight would be as...
The logic is sound but I find most shops over tighten lug nuts. Both times that I've snapped lug studs have been after a shop over tightened and cross threaded.
I tighten by hand with the wrench or a 19mm socket on an extension. This means tight that the wheel isn't moving around but you...
I wold stop doing this immediately. That is way too much force on a lug stud and you will snap them.
Lug nuts should go to 80lbs. Unless you have experience tightening to a spec you might not know how hard to tighten them. I've done it enough now that I'm within a few pounds before measuring...
