Default What is this?

Got out a bag of stuff that came with the car when I dug out the box that had the old radio in it. Found two of these that are brand new in a bag and a crap load of bushings. I'm pretty sure the bushings go in the rear somewhere but these I cannot for the life of me figure out.

Thanks, I thought I had a score cause the car needs on tie rod end then I noticed it was not adjustable. I had to replace those on my '63 Pontiac Catalina last weekend. These look much easier to deal with.

yep sway bar endlinks. you should have a pair of them. remember to lift BOTH left and right sides of the car when replacing to remove the load. not sure if that's front or rear.

Just to let everyone know they were for the front of my '92. Car feels a little more flat in the curves now. The rears are not offset like these are. These are the other goodies that were in that bag. I assume these are for the trailing arms in the rear. I guess I'll have to order sway bar end links for the rear when we install these as soon as he figures out if he wants to just replace the struts and use the H&R springs or go with coilovers for the rear.
