OEM Sway bar endlinks breaking?
Last year I had to purchase a new passenger front swaybar endlink because it had broken at the 4 plastic "nubs". Now I've noticed my driver side endlink is also broken in the same way.
The broken ones both had orange plastic nubs, while the new replacement one has blue.
Is this something I'll have to keep replacing? (I'm running stock sport suspension). Would I be better off buying (or creating) my own higher quality ones? or do the blue end links not break?

I seem to remember there was a TSB about a batch of bad endlinks. The new ones should be better.
To anyone reading this that doesn't know better. TSB does not equal recall.
I found the link to that TSB: http://www.finishlineperformance.com...5-08-1948a.pdf

there was a TSB about the end link problem. they said it does not effect driving performance (yeah right).
Just replace it and it will never give you another problem.
