Hi,

I bought pfadt sways with their endlinks and they broke after 5 months. Then I put back stock endlinks. They lasted about 3 months. So then I bought bmr endlinks and they lasted about 6 months. Installation was not problem because they were installed on 3 different places.
I am not racing. Just daily driving. Yes we have rough streets here but it is not normal to change endlinks so often.
Are there any good endlinks to handle it or where is the problem? Thanks.

Is he bar itself maybe not articulating in the way it should and in turn putting to much stress on the end links? We’re the rubber mounts for it greased when the bar was bolted to the car?

Yes, they were greased and I grease all needed parts every 6 months.

There has to be another Issue besides Bad Roads to have Factory, Pfadt and our End Links to break in a Short period of time.

I don't know but my dealer checked it and said there is nothing wrong with that setup. Other mechanic didn't find anything wrong either. Maybe the sway bar is bad.
What ride should I expect if I put back stock front sway and keep Pfadt rear sway bar?

I too am curious. OP, do you drive your car year round? Are the roads salted heavily during the winter months?
