I'm looking at purchasing a set of new Z06 sway bars that do not include end links or bushings. Will my stock 04 coupe links and bushings work on the Z06 bars?

Yes, they will work. From 2002 and newer C5's and Z06's, GM went to an aluminum sway bar link instead of the old plastic one. Oh the Z06 bushings are different from the other bars, unless you have the Z51 rear bar.

I was wondering about the sway bar links. I have an 04Coupe and ordered the Z06 sway bar package which includes the links and the bushings. I got the links and the bushings yesterday and should get the sway bars in the next few days. I realized after looking at my links, I didn't need to buy the new links, but hey.....

Yes, the end links will work.

No, the bushings will not. The Z06 sway bar has a larger diameter and therefore requires bushings with an increased inner diameter.
