In that picture you have it installed wrong. That tapered spacer is upsidedown. Which is why the rod end is now bent. Take those off your car cause they will break again.

You need new rod ends now and new bolts. When you install, make sure you tighten up the bottom nut first, without the top nut on there. That way the taper goes all the way in the spindle.

I've played with alot of the TC Sportline stuff and yeah, you get what you pay for. The most common problem is people not tightening up the tapered side of the bolts first. And yeah, alot of times thier bolts come loose, doesnt matter if you use locktight or anything else on there. The chinese bolts and nuts are just not that good. I always have to put safety wire around things. I'm running thier lower control arms on my 180sx and have to check them after each track day. I wouldnt run their products on a daily driven car.
