So I ordered These sway bar links off Amazon. As you can tell, my old ones are destroand when I got it off. I realized that the new ones they sent me are much bigger. Are they Still Safe to or did I get the wrong size or did Amazon send me the wrong size? This is very urgent because as you can tell.I can't put that back on my car right now.Oh, and by the way, its a 2008.Lt automatic 2.4L

 

10 inch center to center is the correct length. !2 inch is what most parts books say.

 

Well Amazon says 11.8 inches.
my biggest question is it safe for me to put these on? Cause i pulled my old one 9ff in my work parking lot after work. So if i cant put this on ill be sleeping in my car tonight cause i work tomorrow anyways. But id rather not.

 

I think I'm screwed


The stabilizer bar will contact the LCA if i attempt to install these.

 

Send them back to Amazon! Order ones that are 9.8 inches.

 

I’ve experimented and installed the longer ones, they didn’t hit the LCA until I jacked up the car and unloaded the suspension. So going over train tracks, they will clunk.

 

And leave a depression in the aluminum LCA.

 

Here are the part numbers again as per Part Numbers for elusive and common parts - Broken into separate posts in this thread - Chevy HHR Network

- NAPA 265-1833 (9.86" center to center)
- RAYBESTOS 5451624 (281mm) <<<<< this equates to 11+ inches and is an INCORRRECT size - stick to the 9.86 or 250mm sizes
