Rear End Links - Do I need the kit or just bushings?
Rear End Links - Do I need the kit or just bushings?
My car is only summer driven, and I've had the rear sway bar off before and it came off with ease, so I'm not worried about anything being seized up.
Can I just buy the bushings below:

Energy Suspensions PN: 9.8105
My car has a totally stock suspension, so I assume I don't need the sleeves since it should be correct from the factory?
I have no problem paying the extra $5-10 if I need the sleeves/nuts, but if my stock ones will do just fine then I will use those....

If your long bolt, washers and spacer are in good shape then just replace the bushings. Often the OEM ones are badly rusted due to lack of any plating for corrosion protection. Even on cars here in SoCal I find about 1 in 5 that are so badly rusted that I have to cut the end links off with a power reciprocating saw. Aftermarket kits and the ones I sell are plated to help prevent corrosion.
