    Hello guys,
    I'm new on the forum and to ferrari in general.

    I just got (well almost a year ago) an f355 spider with a gated manual and I've a small issue on the front suspension.
    As you can see from the picture there is something broken close to the anti roll bar. Would you know which part it is I have to buy and replace from the front suspension diagram ? https://www.scuderiacarparts.com/en-gb/part-finder/ferrari/355/oe/5/1621/31810?h=6998

    Thank you very much for your help

    Sway bar end links, do both sides when you do.

    Just curious how you broke this? Its usually bullet proof and most cars fail MOT due to torn boot cover on this. Never hear of any one with a broken joint.

    Thanks brian.s and APA#1 for the answer, I appreciate it.
    @virendra, well nothing dramatic - just the "well maintained" italian roads.

    Use anti seize on the stud that goes into the control arm when you replace them.

    You should be able to remove the remaining piece of the stud by tapping it around in a circle with a small chisel. Otherwise you are going to have to drill it (try a left hand drill bit) and use and easy-out. Typically the stud is loose in the control arm, so it is not too hard to extract.
