Default T1 Sway bar part numbers?

Anyone know if these are still the current numbers for the sway bars:

12480065 Front
12480066 Rear

I heard there was a revision to make the rear adjustable or more adjustable.

Also - can you use standard metal end links or do you need the heim joint ones?

Thanks!

Dave

most prefer std. stock aluminum 02+

it's funny the adjustable endlinks they supply aren't any shorter than the stock ones.....

makes you wonder the point of adjusting only up...... anyone raising the car?

Would adjusting it up raise the car or just hold it down more firmly?

Default Thanks on end links!

I think it is worth starting out with the alum ones first - no thought of raising my car!!

Adjusting the end links up make it a tighter condition (understeer).

I was kidding about needing to raise the car. I've worked on lifting jeeps and trucks for years, the only time you use longer endlinks is if you put a suspension lift on. Or you want an overly tight condition that plows like a snow truck in Maine in Janruary.

Lower the car shorten the end links, simple, yet contraversial recommendation to date.

I agree with starting out with the stock aluminum ones as they are less prone to failure.
