I read a post stating that there is a problem with the sway bar mounting points. I can't find the post or locate a source for the kit to solve the problem.

Thanks again

Mike, are you talking about all FC end links or just S5? How do they go bad, just the bushings?

Ok, well I just got done removing all the old bushings and putting the ES urethanes in so I'm good... I thought you meant the links themselves went bad or something like bending under extreme load
