Default Broken Sway Bar Linkage!

FYI-

I have the L-tuned suspension and TRD sways on for about a year and while I was getting the car serviced I noticed the left linkage at the end of the rear TRD sway bar had broken at the weld point in the lower control arm. I almost missed it as the linkage was hanging between in the lower control arm.

Has anyone else had this issue come up after upgrading to the TRD sways? The linkage that is used with the upgraded TRD sways is stock, so they do not seem to be very sturdy. I've heard they make aftermarket linkages for sways that are adjustable and stronger...has anyone seen them for the GS?

Someone had that problem with the InTRASH sways...never heard of that issue with the TRD sways...are you sure isn't not installed upside down?

It was installed correctly. I guess it was a faulty part, though it looked kinda flimsy. No worries though, it's under warranty.
