Front end link bent?
Can anyone help confirm that my front endlink should not look like this. It's on a 2004 STI. It's not a great picture - I didn't reduce the resolution until after this pic but this was still the best one. Thanks!

If one looks bent and the other is straight, I had that problem. Endlinks move around...I eventually got perrin endlinks to go with my sway bars and you can tell a difference.
A better picture would help..if that's a digi cam select "macro mode" the one with the flower type thing.

Yeah, a better pic would definitely help, but it looks pretty normal from the pic you have already provided. One thing you can do is feel the connecting shaft through the bootie of the endlink. If that feels bent at any angle, then it probably is bent and should be replaced. If it feels straight, then the link is fine, moving at the joint like it should.

Thanks for the help guys. I'll try to get a better picture this weekend. Might not be until Sunday as it looks like I'm going to the NY Auto Show on Saturday! And now I get to go out and play in some fresh snow here in NY!! Woohoo!
