Help Coilover Wiggle...

Hi Everyone,

I have a problem. I notice after 3500miles my car had excessive wiggle in my front driver side wheel. I took the wheel off and looked at my ksport coilovers. They seemed fine, then I noticed that the outter tie rod endlink had busted; its gue was leaking and the dust boot completely compressed.
So I figured it was me driving to hard and I replaced the tie rod endlink. But a week later the same thing happens excessive wiggle and outter tie rod endlink is busted. Now I have a serious problem because I dunno whats going on. Could it be the coilover design thats giving me the wiggle?

Tighten the collar that locks the lower bracket to the strut body. By tighten, I mean use a hammer and hit the wrench. NOT pound, just hit.

Collar? You mean that little bracket thing that attaches to the disk brake?
