I just realized mine are not bent like the others, my passenger side endlink is bent inwards toward the sway bar. I think it might be because of lack of washers, and the fact that they're not entirely vertical?

If they caved inward toward the bar, then that is the case. They need to remain as vertical as possible, and the bolts coming out of the heims must be as horizontal as possible.

I am bringing this up to the product development team, and we are going to come up with a solution that will accomodate all on these endlinks.

I can assure you there will be some changes done VERY shortly. I will keep this thread updated.

See the fronts are whole nother issue that is rather different. During testing, we did not have any come undone using the identical components you have. You and the one other gentleman both had issues with your endlinks coming undone, but yet out of the other 20 or sets sold, no one else has said anything negative, which is typically good news.

We are going to retest the fronts on a stock 2008 tC, with a stock front sway bar and make determinations and/or changes based off of those results. We will keep the community posted.

It's good you have instructions now, when I received mine didn't come with washers or instructions so I wasn't aware they were necessary.

Sorry bout that. Well we have come up with a possible solution for the rears to make install a tad easier. We did locate some 1/8" thick spacers and we are considering including a few in each kit. I will keep you all posted.

OK. The new spacers came in from our hardware source, and they are nice, but DAMN near expensive.

Ok. Today we installed the V2 endlinks on an 08 tC with stock rear sway bar. We used some of the new spacers as well. We will be monitoring the progression of the endlinks over horrid Buffalo roads and his 45 mile commute each way for work.

Nice. Could you use washers to produce the same effect as the spacers?

Hmm...

Maybe I should wait to see if a ver. 3 is available in the future, lol.

=)

Sounds like a great product though.

V2.2 will not be altered considering we have a local with 2K miles of rough Buffalo driving with no issues at all.

Hmm... well that puts a damper on things, lol.

Theres a lot of potholes in my area. I'd hate to install one of these, and have them bend.

If my stockies bend/break, i'll try out the v2.2 immediately.

Nice to know these are available though, and that they have been re-engineered.
