thanks jeff.

no this is for my wagon, the rod ends on my swaybar end-links look very similar to those on the adjustable links on the pics you posted. something in the suspension's developed noise after a track day, i have yet to get back under the car. but previous track day i broke the end-link at the rod ends (different type, which, btw, no front sway bar makes for a fun day at the track hahahaha). just wondering about the wear on those beefier rod ends.
