Default Sway bar endlinks for an 02 Z28

Alright guys, I just swapped out the stock shocks off of my dad's 02 Z28. While I was there I noticed that the endlinks need to be replaced. They are the still the stock one's and they are showing there age with the car having 90K miles on it. I will be doing both the front and rear. This is his daily driver so I am just looking for stock replacements. I am going to go with Moogs but I see there are a few available. I would like to have verification on which part number is the correct one to use. I am also going to swap out the bushings for both front and rear with Moogs as well. Those I know which to go with.

These are the endlinks that are listed. I need to know which is the correct stock replacement.

It looks as though K5252 and K6217 are rubber and K6630 and K6678 are thermoplastic. It also appears that I can go with K6630 all around. I will probably upgrade to the thermoplastic style.

Thanks for the help.

Part Number: K6630
Description: Front; Problem Solver; Heavy Duty Design


Part Number: K5252
Description: Front; Standard Design


Part Number: K6678
Description: Rear; w/H/D Susp.; Problem Solver; thermoplastic rubber provides additional performance and handling benefits


Part Number: K6217
Description: Rear; w/H/D Susp.; Standard Design


K6630 and K5252 are also listed for the rears.

Part Number: K6630
Description: Rear; w/Std. Duty Susp.; Problem Solver; Heavy Duty Design


Part Number: K5252
Description: Rear; w/Std. Duty Susp.; Standard Design

I broke my bolts when changing my front shocks and couldn't find anyplace that sold just the bolts, so I got the K6630. they were CRAP! Both sides literally tore as I was torquing them down. Threw away the bushings and just used the bolts.

Hmmm that is not good. Others on another forum have used them with no issues.

I may just end up going this route.

I used the K6630 on the front of my car (ES on the back), and I couldn't tell much difference in the material that the actual bushings were made out of. Moog is quality stuff, I don't think you'll go wrong either way.
