Those look like very long end link bolts. You might want to make sure that they won't hit anything during suspension travel.

I had the same problem on my rear sway bar. The link bolts were so long, I ran out of thread before getting the proper squeeze on the bushings. Look for a bolt that is 1/2" shorter than your current bolt. It will look much cleaner, too.

Good point.

Maybe I will just cut the end off.
