Progress front/rear sway bar problem RISE FROM THE DEAD!
After almost half a year of running on my progress front and rear sway/tie bar setup using grey's endlinks, my unsolved issue has finally came back and bit me in the ***... one of the bolts that bolt the end link to the LCA is completely gone. I took my car in for alignment, and they inspected the car and told me to go look, and i saw the endlink hanging there off one terminal of the progress sway bar. This caused me great sadness, but the guy at the alignment shop put a temporary bolt there.
now...i remember hondaluver has a EX coupe and is running this setup, and i dunno how his is holding up, but it seems like i'm the only person to have such a problem. The mechanic pointed out to me that both sway bars come short of the endlink attachment point on the LCA, so when the endlinks were connected, they were not 90 degrees to the surface of the floor like the way stock endlinks align to the stock swaybar. This issue was pointed out long ago when progress first released this bars for our cars, and there was a bunch of threads regarding this issue. Most people disregarded the fact that the endlinks sat at a hideous angle, but I'm unfortunate enough to have one of the bolts "breaK" is what the mechanic suspected.
Anyway, DOES ANYONE OUT THERE HAVE THE PROGRESS FRONT AND REAR SWAYS WITH THEIR ENDLINKS SITTING AT A SLANT? Has this caused you any problems up to date? and most importantly, DOES YOUR ATTACHMENT POINTS ON THE SWAY BARS COME SHORT OF THE ATTACHMENT ON THE LCA'S?
Here's what mine looks like:
________<- sway bar
endlink->\______ <- LCA
when it should look like:
________<- sway bar
endlink ->|_____ <- LCA
