    Glad to do it for ya. I should mention the fan does have three wires going to the connector, but the plug on the fan only has two connectors.

    Look at the first picture here, and then look at the third picture. Three wires in, two plugs out.

    On computers, the third wire is for RPM monitoring. I wonder if it's same on that fan... Maybe it has to do more with year than model of car... the MS45 has much more monitoring capabilities than its predecessors...

    Can I drive the car with a broken Driver's side front sway bar link?

    You can take off the sway bar completely and still drive around safely. Your handling will be shitty...but you can drive around no problems.

    So here's what happened. 2 weekends ago I replaced the front shocks with Koni FSDs and BMW reinforcement plates. Since then the front of the car has been riding higher than it used to. I though it would settle out after a few days but it hasn't, so my fear was that maybe the strut wasn't seated all the way down into the sleeve thing at the bottom. So today I lifted the passenger side of the car, took the wheel off, and everything looked fine. Then I lowered it and raised the driver's side, and everything looked fine except I realized that I had forgotten to reinstall the small bracket that holds the ABS line onto the lower strut bolt. Stupid. So I decided I was going to take the lower strut bolt off, put the bracket on and tighten her back up. As I was about half-way done loosening the bolt, the sway bar link snapped. I noticed after a minute of 2 that the strut had spun abut 90 degrees, so that the tab where the sway bar link attaches was facing out. I'm guessing this is the problem? However I know I didn't install the strut that way, so it must have somehow rotated in the last 2 weeks, or perhaps as I was loosening the lower strut bolt.

    So the car is now back on the ground with no driver's side sway bar link. My questions are: Any idea how I did this, or how I can avoid doing this in the future? Did I do something incredibly stupid? Also, can I drive the car right now, and how much of a pain will it be to replace this link?

    Thanks!

    Seems to me that maybe the strut wasn't inserted into the king pin all of the way and tightened, then somehow "jumped" out of its seat, and rotated . My KW's have a pin on the coilover body the must be inserted into the slot in the kingpin seat.

    Konis don't have that pin... at least the yellows don't. You have guess the orientation to the king pin

    @Yankeefan there is definitely a locator pin on the FSD's that is supposed to seat down into the carrier. Not getting that down in there would explain both your increased ride height and the sway bar connection being off. I'll snag a pic of mine in the morning.
