Yeah. The cause of the problem was definitely the install. Regardless of how strong the heim is, it will undoubtedly fail if the install is not correct. Note some pics on a progress bar and stock sway:

How are you guys installing adjustable endlinks without scaling the car? Just guessing, and putting in a length that seems to fit? That is so, so, so bad. Best of luck, though.

Hotchkis Sway bars tend to have this problem, I'd rather use the TRDs or the Progress, I'm sorry I'm not trying to bash their company, its just that I've seen many problems like that with hotchkis sway bars.

Not only on tc's, but also on sti's, they tend not to be very aligned or bent on the ends, from factory.... not good

Meh looks like I'm gonna have to go get some spacers and some new bolts when I order my endlinks. My stock endlinks look like that haha.

ye im having some trouble with creaking, they were replaced at a shop instead of doing it myself cuz thats the only way insurance would cover the peice (plus my dad took my car to the shop to fix it, thinking he was doing me a favor) they def effed up cuz it looks crooked like ur first install, i better fix it myself before it causes anymore trouble
