Default front stabilizer shaft link upper/ lower

Are the lower and upper stabilizer shaft link the same part? See item 12 and 6 in view B.

I can find the part and the number for the upper (item 6) that is pressed into to the sway bar ends. I believe that number is 14084097.

I want to replace the lowers that are inserted into the lower A control arm but can't find them.

The parts are dimensionally very close from what I can measure. The outer metal sleeve looks different. Smooth on the lower and ribbed on the upper.

Those that have addressed bushings up front, what did you do? These four bushings show the most deterioration compared to the large center sway bar bushings.

Corvette Central - 574567 or 574563 depends on the year. There is also an up grade kit 574666

Thanks. Those kits are poly. I'm looking for the original rubber with the metal case. I have the large rubber bar bushings and the original upper end bar links, it's just the lowers are elusive.

Rubber doesn’t exist.
