Bump again. I forgot to check my thread. $20+shipping. Eastern part of the US is likely going to be around $40 or so for shipping.

Bump again, I still have this thing...should I just scrap it?

Sorry for the delay, I guess I don't get email notifications...a Gen 2 Mark 8? Yes, it's usually used as an upgrade on those for the the hollow rear sway bars that rust out and break.
