Bent rear sway bar links

[Tractionless]

Anyone bend the Supercoupeperformance.com lowered rear swaybar links? I took my bar down today to lube the poly bushings (they were squeeking) and noticed both sides are bent!!! I am using them on a stock solid T-bird bar w/poly bushings.

Anyone experience this? The car is not even a daily driver, there are probably 500 easy miles on them!!

Is the car lowered?

Yes and the links are for a lowered car, the bar sits level as it is supposed to.

I have those same end links on my lowered Mark VIII with a SC swaybar. Mine are still fine.

When you installed them, did you remember to lower the car back to the ground (off the jack stands) before you torqued the links down?
