Broke a rear bar drop-link
 

I have had whiteline front and rear bars on my car since new (around 4.5 years), and last week, the handling went away for no real reason ...

Had the car on the hoist on Monday to replace diff bushes and discovered a broken rear drop link (Whiteline KLC141).

Thumbnails attached - looks like they have been failing for quite a while.

Culprit is not going to be the track-work the car has done, but most likely the deep gutter as I cross over out of my driveway onto the street which is quite deep/steep and requires me to take it on the diagonal to avoid scraping the front lip.

Since one has broken, I am going to replace both on the basis that one failing probably means the other is also fatigued.

ouch. good thinking replacing both. :)

2X that.

HAH funny you posted this today... I heard something weird the other day and my handling has been off since then. I have the same whiteline rear end links. Put em back to stock just before. I already knew what it was and today confirmed it...

does powergrid make endlinks for our cars? if so, i recommend those. been using their adjustables on my G for 8yrs with stillen sways. no issue.

SPL's. :D

cool. :tup: is that steel or aluminum?

The black middle section on the rear link is aluminum.
