Anyone every break their rear swaybar endlink? I have RB sway bars in the back and a greddy rear strut tower bar. Broke the rear endlink once after the tower bar was installed. Installed a new endlink yesterday and it broke again. I am wondering if a rear strut tower bar could break endlinks when combined with sway bars?? Any insight is good, thanks

Are the struts both OK?...if you have a broken strut/spring it will load up the sway a lot more than normal

Yea, the struts are both ok, I have S-tech springs on there, the rear suspension seems completely fine

How much preload ( tension) is on the end-link with the car sitting on a level pad?? If there is too much then they can fail early as well as give you some weird handling quirks.

You could have the swaybar mounted upside down - it's relatively easy mistake to do if you did not match the new bar position and it's shape to the old - and it will mount up both ways. Search for some pics of the way it's supposed to be - or check the service manual. Breaking endlinks is not normal nor easy to do - if all other parts are installed correctly.

i agree with spin9k... if u mount the sways upside down... itll break the endlinks really quickly

happened to me.

Frig, I think it is upside down after doing a little searching. The word racingbeat part number on the swaybar is suppose to be upside down. Thanks guys for the heads up
