    Moog sway bar end links sizing

    I am looking for a swaybar end link, approximately 8.6" long (220mm), with M10x20mm studs on each end (facing in opposite directions like the stock links).

    Moog makes tons of high quality, affordable end links of all sizes, but their part numbers make no sense to me and I can't find a universal fit chart.

    Can anyone help?

    I used these, MOOG K6662, for my old KW kit. But they're 180mm in length: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C59YK0

      That's what is confusing me. The part number K6662 doesn't indicate length. I wish it was like Kxx180xx or something

      General questions:
      -What are the consequences of running a shorter endlink that positions the swaybar at a higher angle than stock? As far as I can tell, a longer link would cause the swaybar to crash into the control arm. But it can easily be made shorter.
      -What is the shortest end link before binding could occur?

      Stock end links are 270mm long.

          Good to know. That looks like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Moog-K80675-S.../dp/B001FDN1SE

            Edit: By searching Rock Auto for all Moog links, they list the lengths as "bolt length". https://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/mo.../+bushing,7580

            K90515 is 271mm (stock)
            K80675 is 231mm

            The other thing to consider is the stud diameter at each end. Needs to be M10.
