It's actually a broken anti-sway bar that you have. This is actually not all that rare. There is a flex point hidden by the bushings. This design is good and bad. By having the flex point there, it helps to reduce strut to strut connectivity when going straight. However, when there is lateral load, because it is against the axis of flex, it is rather stiff. Therefore, it helps to isolate while going straight, and is slightly tighter in the turns. The bad part is, these flex points break.

Why not go iPd, if they are selling any right now. I know for a while, they didn't, and may not be still.
