Exclamation What is up with my sway bar????

Ok so i was looking under my car today and i noticed this.

This is a picture of my endlink on my rear swaybar.


My car is not lifted or jacked, its just sitting in a parking lot. For some reason that does not look right. Can someone point me in the right direction please. Thanks

Pretty much any available aftermarket endlinks would be an improvement.

I don't see how you could drive around like that, when my bar flipped it made a hell of a racket and the rear end looked tilted.

It sure should! Just make sure you don't install the bar the way it sits now!

I am still amazed at this. I can not believe that Subaru let something like this go. They should've issed new end links or something.

I am curious, has anybody ever brought this to the attention of the dealers and SOA??
