Stock Endlinkes are the sUk, not complaining just funny.

Endlinks took a poop, killed the lateral links. Dealership laughed at me cause i have Cobb springs, not a bad way to decide to redo the whole suspension.

Wow, how did that happen?

triple_s1x · 01-02-2007, 04:26 PM

No JOKE, i pulled into my driveway.

STi_1212 · 01-02-2007, 05:05 PM

Ouch sorry to see that happen.... but when one door is closed another one opens and behind it is a crap load of new suspension parts.

triple_s1x · 01-02-2007, 05:19 PM

Oh yea, since i concluded Subaru Dealerships are a joke with there warranties, i'm not going to stop at the suspension.

YOUR Subaru dealership is a joke with regard to warranties. There are alot of dealerships that are fairly mod friendly.

I might change that statement tommorow after i make a few more calls, so far 3 places said no go due to springs. I love the logic behind it all, hence i'm amused.

AndrewSS · 01-02-2007, 06:26 PM

That sucks, good luck with the warranty stuff.

BigGreg · 01-02-2007, 06:29 PM

My stocks blew too. But I didn't notice anything else busted.

psuLemon · 01-02-2007, 06:34 PM

Best of luck. I would file a complaint to subaru. Hell they sell aftermarket springs for our car, and its really on them to prove the springs caused the damage.

Its funny though, the service manager at the one dealership showed me the fine print on the SPT catalog.. and even those parts dont give you a full warranty. That guy just loved to tell people, how modding the STi will void the warranty... Then he told me Mitsu warranties everything, i guess i bought the wrong car then eh..

haha, actually Mitsu will go through the SCCA registry and if you have your car registered they will void your warranty from what I hear.

That sounds like BS to me. I don't see how they could deny the claim based on the springs. People with all stock parts of flipped their sway bar exactly like you have done.

Oh its a joke.. The one service manager was trying to reason with me.. "well the stock end links cost $25.25, they cant be that strong." Then he told me to get aftermarket endlinks... You guys think that will void my warranty, lol

**RaceComp Engineering** · 01-03-2007, 10:36 AM

It might be worth disputing if you want to keep your car as-is, but if you plan to go with bigger swaybars, etc. you may as well replace the endlinks with a set of Kartboys now since the stock rear endlinks are pretty weak. As far as the lateral links, are they physically damaged (bent or cracked)? If so, I would try to raise hell at the dealership and make them replace them but if you prefer to switch to something more heavy duty, like the STi pinks or Cuscos, you know where to find us

Good luck.
