Eibach bar. And by track I mean lapping.

Bad lubrification ?

I am going to guess the bushing split, which is not uncommon, and this followed.

I suggest you grab some nice billet aluminum saddles. Ours are about $90 or so, and are the only ones that have grease fittings machined into them ;)

That happened to my 07 this spring at a lapping day, it has the FRPP front bar which I'm guessing is Eibach supplied.

Kelly, thanks for mentioning that you offer an upgrade, saves me some searching. In the meantime I had just replaced it with the same thing.


cheers

Here are the saddles. They were designed to be used with our sway bar support, but I'll be testing a set with a stock radiator support tonight. They're way nicer than the stamped saddles!

Good to go, with plenty of room! Cost for the kit is $129 shipped. It includes bushings, hardware, and saddles.

You're welcome, and thank you! You're going to love those brackets. I've got a set of them on my car. I don't think you'll have that broken saddle problem again.

Lucky to not have destroyed oil filter then blow the engine after Eibach saddle brokes during a lapping session :

Job done ! Looks great and strong, but No offense BMR but installation was a pain in the a$$ !! Omg, no access behind the rad support, I did place both washer and nut with a telescopic magnet hahah !
