I have an Addco sway bar on the back of my car. After 10 years or so the rubber bushings on the end link are shot.
Will the Prothane links sold for the FRONT sway bar fit on the Addco rear bar? https://www.suspension.com/19408
Or is there a better way to go to get poly for the rear ?

Thanks

The end link bushings are available separately from Prothane.
I have purchased them at A/Z.

This takes me to the same link that I already posted. Those are obviously for the FRONT sway bar. Question is, do they fit the rear as well?

Thanks. I'll price out getting new of the part 10032854.
Good to know there are other options.

To answer the original question: Those bushings will work, but the bolts and spacers are too long. If you just want to replace the bushings, that'll be fine. But if you want to replace the hardware also, then you'll need to measure the length of the spacers in the end-links and get a universal end-link kit with the same length spacers. I've used the Prothane universal end-link kits on an Addco rear sway bar, so I know they will fit (as long as you get the right size).

Yes, I did as OleJoeDad and bought swaybar bushings at Advance. If your spacer is too long, it can be cut down with a hacksaw to the proper length. I had trouble finding bolts and spacers the right length in any kit when I was installing a rear sway bar. I found the correct bolts at Tractor Supply. I think front and rear bolt diameter is 3/8 so the bushings and washers will fit both ends. John Deere or any farm tractor dealer is a good place to find hardened bolts.

IIRC, Rodney Dickman is also a source of sway bar end links.
