    I'll check and see if I have one in stock at work. If not I'll order one in overnight.

    What kind did you get mko? I had the ones from complx and I had a snapped one replaced by him and it snapped again I was looking for other ones but I might just stick with stock endlinks.

    Im putting them together myself. If the whole length of stock end link is 2 3/8 then anything around 3'' and above will work. The rear end link are limited in motion - most of the time they move up and down, they are not like the front end links where they are stressed by the twisting forces of the steering rack where the heim joints experience some odd angles. In the rear the twisting forces are very minimal, limited by the motion of the lateral control arm bushings, so the motion of the heim joint is close to nothing. As a matter of fact a steel plank with two holes can do the job of an end link, but since i dont want to do a half assed job im going to try these.

    here are the links of what i just bought.

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/3-8-C...#ht_2999wt_958

    8 of these.

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Heim-...s#ht_790wt_958

    2 of these

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Heim-...s#ht_780wt_958

    2 of these

    ................................



    the new length comes to 3.5-3.6''. Id assume 0.25'' of threading length and the actual length will be 3.2-3.4'' which is a good inch more

    to space the ball from the actual mounting point on the sway bar and when you put the bolt thru it, the head of the bolt does not interfere with movement
