Front sway bar end link bending...

[alia176]

Got this pic from a buddy who is tooling around in UT. He doesn't understand why this brand new Sankey 555 is bending like this? He has a 2" OME lift (not sure) and heavy 2" Dobinsons in the rear. He asked me if he should disconnect it and I told him that he may not be able to prevent the sway bar ends from contacting the CV boots but I don't own a GX so I wanted to get your wisdom.

Could his links be too long for the application? He doesn't have any sway bar drop blocks.

Before this incident, he managed to break aftermarket (prolly Autozone) end links few days ago. That is what prompted him to go to Sankey 555 end links. This was on the passenger side!!

Needless to say, he is a tad rattled running trails around Moab today.

Dang, Never seen it that bad before. He’ll have to remove the hole sway bar, I’m not running one.The drop brackets should help as well

I’m also running these.
I don’t remember your name but I remember meeting you once in Indiana, toys for tots or hoe down, I was riding with Onur. Back in the black 80 days.

Kind of to late now.

Update, he just broke that sway bar in the first pic. He's limping to Moab right now.

Is this issue really that uncommon on the GXs?
