tarett swaybar stuff broke ..., anyone else had problems? Options

[SirAndy]

so on my way to the AX saturday i noticed a "clunk" sound from the frontend, like i had lost something.
i had this happen before, bolt came lose on the swaybar droplink, so i thought that was it ...

when i get to the AX site and change tires, i see the droplink hanging all weird so i take a closer look and the lower hime joint has broken. the thread just snapped off the joint.
i then continue to change the tire on the other side and it's exactly the same! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

both hime joints broke in the exact same location. that seems too odd to be coincidence.
i must have hit something *really* hard for that to happen, but i can't remember running over any bad potholes etc.

anyone else had problems before?

Pics of the actual failure site may be able to tell us if it went all at once, or if it fatigued into failure over repeated cycles.

hmmm, this is interesting ...

it almost looks as if the joints are made out of two materials, the outside (the thread) is still nice and shiny while the inside is rusted ...
but it hasn't rained here in weeks and that just happened 2 weeks ago!

btw. my camera *sucks* for closeups ...
