Hotchkis Sway Bar Mount Broke

Ive started to here clunking and squeeking sounds from the rear of my car and I looked under to find that the Sway bar mount is broken. Heres a pic, but I also need to know where I can get a replacement which is either oem or stronger. So please give me a website or part number. Thanks.

Just call up Hotchkis and tell them that your mount broke. They'll send you new ones.

Yes as said before. I broke both of mine a few weeks back. I just gave Hotchkis a call and wam-bam a new set was there 5 days later. At no charge! . I'll give them 5 stars for there custumer service.

Same here, I think the new ones they sent are a heavier gauge.

i know u'd hate to hear this but this is somewat related to installer error. you have to be really precise to line up the mounting points exactly or it will eventually snap. hotchkis definetly did give a revised stronger mounting hardware to reduce this chance but as said, they do not include this for all their kits. yeah i went through this same thing 2 years ago and i took double time to install w/ **** precision... mine never broke although i did still get the hotchkis revised mounting kit just incase it did break.

What's the revised kit look like?

I had mine crack earlier in the month. Called Hotchkis and they sent me replacements within a week. Already got them switched out and had it back on the track w/o issue.

How old is your sway bar kit? I was under the assumption that they fixed this a while back.
