Help VR stabiliser bar Link Rod

7

Guest
I have an ex Police car I took my car in and had a new stabiliser bar Link Rod kits (new Bushes ) both sides.

Only 2 weeks later the left side snapped in half and the right was bent.

The installer replaced them saying we must have hit a curb or something hard to do that. (NOT)

Week later a nylolock nut undid itself on the right.

They blamed movement on the swaybar.

Replaced that and the nuts used.

I compared the new links to the orginals the new ones are mild steel the old ones hardened steel anyone know what should be fitted the installer has come to the party no charge but even he cant figure whats going on. :confused:

Any susgestions on what may be causing the fault.

if they have nyloc nuts theyre not genuine parts, the genuine ones use pinch nuts.
& yes the rods are case hardened.
its hard enough to get the genuine part to last let alone the crappy aftermarket ones.
