Broken endlink tab on TC Kline Koni

fmowry · 11-25-2017, 08:09 AM

Car isn't raced, just street driven. I heard a clunking and my front brake pad light came on. I pulled the wheel to find the endlink tab broken off and my adjustable endlink flapping around and it must have ripped my pad wear indicator wire off.

I think the tab must have had a week weld because I haven't hit anything and the endlink is set properly.

Has anyone else seen this? I submitted a question on their website last weekend but haven't heard back. I guess I'll just fire up the welder and weld it back on.

The weld looks intact. It's the body of the strut that tore. I'd check my sway bar assemblies for binding.
