Z3M Rear Sway problem

[pnosker]

I have the Z3M Rear Sway (Roadster) and when my axle popped out, it must have knocked the driver's side enough to pull almost out of the end link. It looks like the end link may even be bent. What should I do? If it isn't bent, any advice as to how to get it seated easily? I don't know what to use to press it on-- and should I use WD-40 or something to lube it a little?

Ok I fixed it. There was some flashing from manufacture that made it difficult to get back on. Cut that out and it was pretty easy.

he reused old bolts that had previously been heated with a torch which sheared off of the differential output flange.
