Rear SwayBar Angle...

[FukuokaKid]

So... I've had my racing beat RSB installed for quite some time now. But recently I been breaking end links. I broke the stocks (no surprise there) then I also broke a brand new set of Corksport end links in less than a week. I think it is because of my father's driveway in combination with Hawaii's crappy roads. His driveway always makes the car 3 wheel. There is not way to get around it. His street is a one way downhill and the driveway is perpendicular uphill. The end-links fail at the ball and socket that connects to the arm. It completely separates or starts to get too loose and makes thumping noises. In my latest quest to keep the bar installed I've installed AWR rear end links. There is no ball and socket to separate. The only issue is that they are really long. More than 1" longer than stock. I worry that there will be too much angle in the bar and cause binding issues or premature failure of the bushing/bracket. Take a look at this pic and tell me what you guys think... Suspension is all stock except the RSB. Thanks!

The angle does not seem that steep to worry. It should be fine. Although that kind of end link would not last long for street use. The spherical bearing are nice when new but soon water and dirt will destroy it due to non sealed design. When they wear out it would make a lot of knocking noise.

I am running OEM endlink for the last 3 years with Tri Point engineering 32 mm swaybar and they are holding fine.
