In my 19 Stingray front end I have a slight rattle over small imperfections at low speeds. Thought it might be swaybar links so ordered some Moog K750136 from Summit. Tried to install and the control arm end won't clear the end of the spring.
You can see the difference here.
Also I picked up the old one and realized it may weigh 1/2 as much as the steel Moog unit. And the studs move tightly in the old ones on both sides. Never tried to return anything to SUmmit so will see how that goes.
BTW how can I make pics smaller?
Hope this helps someone.
Car was jacked up by the subframe so suspension was hanging. If I had to I could probably unbolt the LCA from the frame and get them on but not worth the trouble. Heavy as heck, have grease fittings, the nuts were metal deformed locking nuts which I refuse to use so needed to buy nuts and jam nuts- all that told me not to bother.

You have the correct (upgraded) part. Maybe this link I posted previously will help you.
Steve I see a lot more threads showing on the height adjuster which would move the spring closer to the control arm and give more room. I thought about doing that but the extra weight thing really got me so I decided I didn't want those all steel links anyway. Over the last 2-3 weeks I have been adapting QA1 double adjustable shocks to the front. I had to weld up an adapter to get the 9/16" shaft diameter into the 12mm hole in the upper shock mount. Turns out I didn't allow quite enough clearance to the bottom of the block of aluminum. I changed a spacer length to ad 1/8" clearance and my noise went away. It wasn't the links after all. Thanks for taking an interest and posting the link.
