I'm not sure if I'm behind the learning curve here but if you've got a SPF GT PLEASE check your sway bar end links.
Long story short, my Dad and I were doing some suspension work to my GT and had taken off the left front coilover. When we started to put it back together my Dad noticed that the swaybar link was drooping. We both agreed that neither I or he had loosened the tension bolt so we took it off. We discovered that the splines inside were stripped. The link was not deep enough nor was there enough meat for the splines on the end of the sway bar to grab onto it. To top it off we agreed that the tension bolt was not large enough to properly grab the swaybar. A quick call to Dennis, the SPF guru,confirmed the problem as a small issue with the design. His solution was to weld the sway bar to the link and we agree. Dennis also mentioned that all of his cars had gone through the mod as a standard courtesy to his customers. Kudos to Dennis.......
So in short, if you've had your car done by Dennis have no worry. If you've set up your own car or had another vendor set it up take a little time and check your sway bar links. My car has a little over 1000 miles on it and I don't know when it failed.

P.S. Mike Drew touched on this in another thread but I believe we should all take a little time to check based on the capability of our cars and the consequence of failure.
