Default how often do you guys check your rear endlinks and sway bar

ive broken 2 endlinks , and now today when i went to clean my undercarrage i noticed that the endlink going into the LCA was loose. this has never happened on the track , i broke 2 endlinks on the street , and this one loosened up on the street. so i wanted to see if anyone else had problems like these?

I'm using the suspension techniques speedtech kit shown below



my endlinks have never came lose, but the bolts that hold the bushing plates on at the end of the tie bar, seem to work lose a lot. I try to check them every time I wash my car, which is usually every Friday, I've recently put some removable lock tite on them, and it seem to have helped.

My 99-00 si endlinks haven't seemed to come loose at all. But I only have a 13mm rear sway bar so that might be the reason.

What rear sway setup are you using? Friend of mine was running the blox 19mm rear sway, with oem gsr endlinks, and his kept breaking.


He has since replaced them with Function7 endlinks and seems pretty happy with those.

Later Honda end-links are notoriously weak (ball-joint style). I think they make them like that because it's easy $$ when a customer get's his car serviced. Whenever a guy comes in to get an oil change, the tech will check the end-links and of course they are busted so they make an extra 25-50$ on top of the oil change.
