Question Sway Bar End-links

I'm going to be receiving my Sikky sway bars sometime soon so I ordered new Sway bar end-links.

Now on Sewell they show two different part numbers 48830D (RH) & 48840A (LH). (http://is.sewellparts.com/oem-catalo...-ISF-2012.html)

The ones I recived from Sewell only say 48830-30090 Link Assy, RR Stabili (pic below):

Does anyone know if both side end-links are the same part?

Yeah I know but they looked complicated to install and when I asked ppl about how to adjust them correctly I realised that most people just used their OEM ones

Sorry to hijack the thread, but is there a way to change the rear sway bar endlinks without the stupid bolt from spinning or stripping?

^^u mean the upper bolt that connects to the actual sway bar? if that is the case u have to make sure the endlinks threads are all the way in the swaybar hole. if not they will just keep on spinning. we used an allen key to spin the thread all the way in. not sure if this is the problem ur having...

I did a write-up some time ago on our adjustable endlinks. I think the issue with the Sikky version is that they are still too long. Ours max out a little shorter than stock endlinks to eliminate the sway bar rotating at static ride height.

Bumping this for a question (don't want to open a new thread).

I'm going to install F-Sport rear sway bar and need new end links. Since Sewells online closed down I can't verify.

Is it part number 48830-30090 as mentioned above for the end links?
eBay is telling me that part number is for ISx50 (http://www.ebay.ca/sch/i.html?_from=...30090&_sacat=0)

Thanks,
Zel

According to Mylparts, it's the same so you should be good.
