Question Must sway bar end links be a matched pair?

I only ordered one front sway bar end link from Rockauto for my 300. Would it be a mistake to just grab a second one from Autozone so I can get them installed without waiting for delivery? The one from Rockauto is a Beck Arnley. Would any non adjustable end link from Autozone fit virtually the same way as the one I already have?

I'm pretty sure they should be identical, what if one brand is smaller/bigger or looser/tighter than the other one? That might cause some kind of issue

As long as they're matched in length they're fine. Even the style doesn't matter.
