I would like to know if any one else has had this issue. (its rusty because its been like that for about a month... i havent had the time to remove the bar)
They were nice enough to offer me a new one... the weld quality definetly isnt up to par. What does your sway bar welds look like?
Take this as a word of caution. It wasnt a violent release but i did feel it in the turn. (depends on your setup)

un-certified welders! there is poor fit on the tab to begin with. it should at least sort of conform to the shape of the piece it is being welded to (the sway bay) not just using the weld to bridge the gap.
they are spring steel correct?
spring steel becomes brittle when you weld to it. (it is the parent metal here). so even if you have a good weld there is a chance of the parent metal tearing away beyond the weld because it was overheated. you can weld to spring steel, you just need to try to limit the heat you put into it.seien Sie größer, als Sie erscheinen

I was also in to the air racing scene before my first kid was born (I stoped flying...had more than my fair share of dead pilot friends).
I was hired as the crew chief for International Rockwell's P51 Pylon racer in the late 80's and the owner told me it was because I was the most paranoid mechanic he knew

I hear a lot of people complaining, and personally, a person who hasn't had a bad experience with IE yet, I also would like to point out that IE is by far cheaper than almost every other place. So when you cheap, you get what you pay for.
I got most of urethane stuff from them, and shock mounts have been nothing less than amazing. I never bought anything else from them, other than suspension bushings and sway bars, though.
