Oh man I bet they look like poop. I can't see them here at work. I'll check it later tonight. Cred btw, what are you using to lube the links? I've been hitting them with WD40.
I have been using PB Blaster lately. Prior to that I used Corrosion X but I was not that good at getting the links evidently.

Paint your links with Por-15, it stops the oxidation and won't chip

Re: The Bent/Broken Link Poll

My sway bar the alum rings where ****ed eye on both side by about 2.3-4mm.
So I took the sway bar off tap the rings over and installed two lock collars I got from Fastenals($7 each). Let see if this will fix my problem.

I'm not sure about those part numbers but you will be fine with the stock links as long as you clamp the sway bar down to prevent it from shifting. Happy trails to you sir.

Re: The Bent/Broken Link Poll

Is the glass half full or half empty?

Had to post today because you won't believe this. Went to the dealership to order some parts and talk with the service guys. As I turned out of the dealership I heard a clunk sound. I turned back into the dealership and found I had a broken link with a freshly torn cv boot! My rusty as hell AP link (drivers side) snapped in half.
Here is a pic from last month when I realized they were rust magnets.



I didn't have my camera with me to take a pic of the broken link but I will take a pic after the dealership replaces it.
I should have removed them like I had planned but it didn't happen. So I got back in and drove into the service bay and told them what happened and what I needed. Ordered some more parts and got a ride back to work from one of my coworkers.

So, I was on my lunch break and it broke right in front of the dealership. Parts will take 2 days
No towing
Out of some cash
My wife is not pissed.

My glass still looks half full to me!
