Default sometimes i look forward to breaking things

2 years ago, I bent the lower shock mount on my UMI lower a-arms, i mentioned about it in this thread and Ryan and Jerry from UMI quickly solved the problem for me.
https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspensio...-new-ones.html


After 2 years of being fixed and being driven in the crappy roads we have in some places in vancouver, the lower shock mounts starts bending again








So I just said eff it and bought a new pair with delrin front bushing instead



Thanks to Jerry for helping order those aluminum spacers. Cant wait to get these installed and have the car back on the road.
So the question I have now, when I was removing the sway bar endlinks, I noticed that part of the bushing on the strano endlinks (the little lip that sticks out on the side of the bushing) is slightly torn like this



So can i just get a pair of endlinks from like energy suspension and use just the bushing part of it with the spacers from the strano endlinks?
Or can I use the energy suspenion or moog endlinks?
Or can I just reuse these endlinks as it is.
