Looks like some off the 2013s had it that way & all of the 2014s. I'm not 100% but that's what Google said anyways. Lol

So I go to the tire shop and get my new wheels installed. Come home to install the final bits; the rear sway bar links. And look what I found.Click image for larger version

The fix wasn't bad but it was an inconvenience because I didn't have the retainer clip pliers. I had to put all my tools in the garage, lock everything up, and make a run to Home Depot. Just a pain in the butt when you're in the middle of something.

I hope and pray it doesn't happen again because you have to remove it to fix it.

UGA black and red is hideous! But I'm biased. Go jackets.
