Rear Sway Bar link question

Are the rear sway bar links the same as the ones in the front? I just replaced the 25 year old ones in the front and it made such a difference in handling I want to do the same for the back ones now. I don't know the diameter of the rear sway bar, but it is definitely a lot smaller then the front one if that makes a difference whether the same front links would work in the back. And also the bushings that hold the sway bar up somehow don't look like they are in bad condition unlike the links. So would replacing those make a difference? Do they tighten up the suspension at all or do they just hold the sway bar in place?

Front and rear are the same. Replace the bushings as well. Poly would be a good choice for both the end links and bushings. I like greaseable for the latter.
