Sway Bar End Links

[thezoneR32]

After a recent mishap (see pic below) I am wondering if I should get a set of aftermarket front end links or perhaps just new oem ones. I'm running a 26mm H&R bar in the front. Or does anyone think this may be a one off fault of the strut? Anyone have any thought on this?

Interested to hear what people think, are they KW's?

yes HPA KW SHS.

I had this issue with those shocks and H and R Sways. Std VWattachments too short, highly strung,shore off the strut mount "ring" lhs. I bought some "adjustable links" from Ian at Rennenhouse and it seems to have fixed the problem. Hope this helps.They should not sell the Sway bars without them in my opinion.

Thanks for the reply. Jeez this has actually happened to you as well? Sheet! I was beginning to think this was a one off. I have heard all sorts of negative things about adjustable end links? Did you have to give your first born child to Ian? Last time I bought something form him I had to mortgage my house!

Hi TZR32, I actually claimed on warranty for the strut, however they did charge freight,no problem with the adjustable links(6mths fingers crossed).The Suspension guys swore i must have hit something with it shorn off, but i hadn't, just a huge amount of tension cause the VW std too short.Occasional "twang" or noise on full wheel lock, but look like a fine bit of engineered kit. From memory they were under $300 from Ian, cheaper i recall than Whiteline quoted at the time or didn't have in stock from memory.
