Ours lca is open at the bottom so if you apply a load to the side the metal can flex cause it's not "supported" at the bottom.

Maybe that much stiffness isn't needed, time will tell (eventually you could put a camera in the wheel well and watch), but it's possible that Subaru used a different construction for a reason
Well 2 track days done and its still fine. Subaru used a different construction

on our car because they could. They didnt have to deal with an axle and a

huge transmission so they were able to mount it behind the engine which

from my understanding is a better mounting location. Also I highly doubt

that the sway bar is able to flex the entire control arm, and the hole has not

rounded out or anything so I think its safe to say that it is fine.
