Hey all, just curious if anyone has had experience with snapping an end link to a seat bar. I had my car in jack stands under the front cradle doing a brake job and while looking in there I noticed my end link not connected. Just looking to see if there is anyway that has happened. For reference I haven’t driven the car in a couple weeks but have been under the car and the link was fine. Did being in jack stands for a couple days out stress in the link? I’m not to savvy when it comes to suspension. Take a look at the pictures below and let me know what you think.

TIA Snapped right at the nut
The wear on the endlink from the sway bar rubbing indicates interference....which eventually led to breaking the threaded adjustment. From what I can see, they are assembled incorrectly. The spacer should be between the endlink and the sway bar, not the endlink self-locking nut.

Ahh okay I must’ve incorrectly followed the instructions. I’ll correct this on the other corners because I’m sure I did that too. Now I’m off to find the threaded piece alone instead of buying a whole new set. Genuine thank you very much!

I would replace the whole endlink. Really not worth cobbling together at this point.

I think I saw something else that could’ve caused it. The washers themselves looked pretty stressed so I checked the other side and it looks like I didn’t make the end links long enough and was stressing the whole unit. After lengthening the end link it seems to fit better and in the middle of the linkage.
