Cobb had a problem with a similar design (solid ball joint). Being that there was now zero play, the vibration will eventually loosen the bolts holding them down. An integrated urethane bushing would have been nice..

+1 You should keep an eye on them time to time. Vibration through out the suspension is inevitable. Those that had the Cobb end links, eventually lost a bolt. In fact, Cobb discontinued that design a few months back because of that issue.

It just looks like the nut backed off. The nut looked like it had the nylon locking feature which works for the most part. Those nuts really weren't made to be reused.

Tried contacting RobiSpec about these endlinks...guess they don't like to check there inbox/email. Would like to pick up a set of these if they are available. Kinda of tough though to spend money with a company that doesn't even respond to simple forms of communication from potential customers.
