im not sure that there is any difference. i dont know for certain, but my car is not a 1LE and the end links that i had on it were polyurethane not rubber. and the 'stock replacement' ones i got from the local auto parts store were also poly. so they might be exactly the same.

My 85 IROC also came stock the poly, so I'm unsure of the differences, if any. I did replace, however, with 1LE end links when I swapped to bigger sway bars. The GM part number is as follows: 10221717. By the way, the fit seems better, if I remember correctly, since the poly is molded (rounded) to fit the hole in the a-arm (which is probably ovaled by now).

the napa chassis part number for 1le end links is 265-2048.
i already have the poly ones here (265-1204). i'm going to try those for now. if i don't like them, i'll try the 1le's
