Default Sway bar links

I have an ‘05 z51. Wanting to replace my rear sway bar links and was wondering if the links for a z51 differ from a base c6?

And all should be replaced about every 35K, when they normally will start to make noise.

Myself, just go with the oems, since their lighter than the after market replacements, that last about the same mileage as well before the start to make noise as well.

They are the same. Btw I originally went with Moog when I replaced mine and they are a lot heavier. Ended up going back with oem

You should, my sway-bar just crushed my radiator fan and connector, I had heard creaking sounds and ignored them because they always happened when cold, lesson learned.
