The front stablizer's left end link's upper mounting bolt snapped in half! The end link was installed by the dealer about 12K KMS ago when I brought the car as part of a safety. I'll be replacing BOTH end links with stiffer end links from TRW. Old and new end link... Snapped mounting bolt... Mounting point comparison... ...sigh...

Look on the back on your key fob, TRW makes everything. They do everything automotive. TRW Curious to know if anyone has pictures of the OEM end links on the SVT.
