why is the factory rod bent slightly, while the Kaplhenke one is straight? does that affect arcs throughout the link's travel?

I'd wager it is to align the bushing eyelets such that they don't load the bar torsionally or chew up the bushing through the range of travel. Might be a bit tweaked too.

With sturdy heims and rod, I'd wager all is well.
Definitely a step in the right direction to making the IRS not suck..though how are heims for daily driving in grit?

The factory rod is bent because its so freaking whimpy... They aren't supposed to be bent :rofl:. That car was never in an accident either, thats bent from daily use.... Time for an upgrade

I daily drive with nothing but heims, I dont mind em. If you use good heim joints they have a good service life, and if they get loose you take 10 minutes and replace em...

With heims on a vibration damped suspension like this subframe you really wont notice much increase in noise or vibration just an increase in handling precision.
