Default Hawkeye sti, back roll bar problem

hi on my 06 sti notice the car being lower on one side of the back, when looking under neath found one of the link bars broke off the roll bar, is this common? also both side has been hitting against the bottom arm, eatting away at it. Can anyone tell me if this has happened to them thanks Dan

Broken rear links are not unknown, which is why whiteline etc sell uprated ones, STI has the stiffest stock rear bar.

Unless a link was catching on something though it shouldn't mean the car was tilted due to the failure, so you may be looking at the cause of the tilt failing the links as it will have increased the average load on them significantly!

Probably a mis-shapen bar. Doesn't take being out by much to cause the links to slap the arms. My whiteline bar was out when it was fitted and caused slapping on the softest setting.
