Sway bar endlinks busted

Newbie here, was putting stock wheels on my 997.1 to store car for winter and noticed driver side sway bar endlink was busted, don’t know too much about everything done to car because I bought it this way, I know the car has bilstein coil overs with pasm, and it looks like it has aftermarket sway bars, my question for you guys is do u have to use aftermarket endlinks to work with a lowered setup? Do they have to be shorter or does stock links work fine?

There was a post about this a while ago. Basically there are updated links from Bilstein that are bent, not straight to address this issue. Not sure how you would go about getting them, but contacting Bilstein may be worthwhile.

Check this link (and the ones it mentions):

To confirm those look like after market links, likely those that came with the Bilstein shocks, and as mentioned above they should be replaced. I'd ask Bilstein for their updated version at no cost.

Bilstein couldn’t get me replacements, also looks like other drop link was cut and modified as well, so I went with tarett engineering links from rennline, now she’s all fixed ready for spring
