: BWoody sway bar links - rusting out/flaking apart

The BWoody sway bar links I have are from the first group buy. The bottoms are rusting, pitting, and the (garbage) powder coating job they do on their products is flaking apart. This could be a serious safety issue. Just a warning to all that have these, check them.

So you're saying they might kinda look like some of the OEM pumpkins look with the rusting flaking paint? Maybe not so much "rusting out" perhaps as surface rust? Serious safety issue. I don't know. How bout some pics, you know someone is gonna chime in and say its a worthless thread without them.

Sorry for the problem, Mango, thanks for the heads up.

Post some pics for sure. I would think it is only surface rust. Powdercoating is usually pretty durable so I'm surprised its flaking off.

Like Mrfreeze said contact Mike at Bwoody and make him aware of the situation and maybe email him pics.

Keep us posted.

If true, this sux, but I don't really think end link separation is catastrophic

Ide bet a $1000 its no safety issue and purely cosmetic. Glad to see you back, I thought you had totalled your Jeep.
