Default dreaded subframe tearout.

i am now a victim, anyone here had it happen?
is it expensive to fix?
i was checking it thoroughly this afternoon, doesn't look TOO complicated to fix.

problem will be getting compensation of the company that manufactures the swaybar.

bit of a racetrack battle scar

i finnished up for the day and noticed a squeaking from the rear of the car. subfram tearout was the first thing to go through my mind.

it hasn't broken away yet, but there is a crack at the top of the swaybar braket, and the bracket has broken free down the bottom.

i was using a 19mm swaybar that is designed for the factory brackets. the shop *promised* me this would not be an issue. let's see if they are going to say when i show this to them.
