Turning out of my office parking lot I heard a "pop" - - - as I proceeded down the road I noticed a "funny wiggle" when I changed lanes or turned - - - I pulled off the road into a large parking lot and began inspecting the front suspension - - - then I noticed that the front stabilizer bar was broken completely in two where it meets the frame on the passenger side - - - glad I was not going 70mph on the interstate.
