Hello all, I was just wondering if the OEM endlinks have a tendency to fail prematurely(low miles). I've developed a small clunk over minor bumps in the pass rear wheel area earlier this week, I figured it's an endlink or sway bushing. I'll be taking the wheel off tomorrow and one endlink end to see if it is in fact shot. I only have 14k miles!

 

I have a similar issue. Have not investigated yet. Would love to hear about your findings if I do not get to mine first.

 

Not really, but if you hit a pot hole they are the weak link.

... there are other threads about this on NAM too.

Well i disconnected the top part of the endlink and it was stiff with no play when i rotated the link all around. i think the rattle was the plastic net hooks that were loose and hitting the plastic of the molding in the back. lol. in other news, the brake pads love to wedge rocks and debris and make loud noises. had to remove the pads and clean them off. it's a salty sandy mess here in MA
