Default Hotchkis rear sway endlink issue part 2

Wanted to ask the mechanics and engineers about sways.

-Looking at the pictures below, it looks like the Hotchkis sways stress the endlinks so much, that they bend them.....
-When you look at the TRD sway, the endlink is vertically straight.

The endlink is made to move. Should be fine as long as it isnt maxing it out too bad. I have yet to hear of an issue with the rear sway from hotchkis.

I know how you feel man, but according to engifineer and daskid its not a big deal. I don't think they would want steer you in the wrong direction.

I've finally decided to buy an ingalls rear strut brace and hotchkis sways with front:soft and rear:medium settings.

I pray that I made a good decision

I actually worried about that too when I first installed mine. Being able to browse the forums and read daily car related problems, I have yet seen a problem posted here on SL. Occasionally taking banked corners at almost double the speed limit, my endlinks have zero problems.

Don't worry about the unusual too much. I'm sure if a problem occurs, it'll be all over the forums.

Always remember not to drive with only the rear sways installed. You might wreck your car.

i have camry endlinks for the FRONT hotchkis swaybar, not the rear. no need to swap the rear endlinks as there isn't any clearance/rubbing issues.
