Rear sway bar removed itself
Well, I did a search and didn't find anything...
Left rear swaybar link and sway bar are no longer attached to one another. This explains the occasional banging noise. Link looks to be in good shape. Any tricks to getting the rubber bushing back over the bar? Or just grease it up and push?
TIA,
Kerby

that's essentially what the WD40 will do, just clean the link and bar joint surfaces good, lube it up well with WD40, and then give it some time to dry before driving the car, the rubber will absorb the WD40 and creates a bond with the swaybar surface, I discovered by accident back in 1997 when I replaced an endlink on my '95 M3 rear swaybar, WD40 was all I had and when I installed the link it was slightly out of position, I had a b-tch of a time getting it back off 
When it happened on the Z3 coupe soon after I bought it the solution seemed obvious, in my case it never came off again

Given the choice between this and a cracking chassis, I'll take this any day. No seams coming apart or broken spot welds in the back. I was very happy about that. This is a minor annoyance.
Thanks folks,
Kerby
