Default Helwig swap

I installed a Helwig rear sway bar a couple of years ago. The endlinks broke twice and I repalced them, free parts from Helwig. The thrid time I just ordered grade 8 bolts online and installed it. The bolts are ok, however the bushing went bad. I called Helwig and asked them if I can replace the old bolts style end links with their new style end link. They said it can be done, when I asked for a price they said they have to call me back, so far no calls.

Did anyone did this swap? if so where did you get the endlinks and how much was it?

UPDATE:
They called me back, the new links cost $56, its a bit steap but maybe don't have to replace them every few months.

The parts finally came, but as usual they had missing parts in the box. I never had an order from them that was correct, however they are quick to remedy their mistakes and send you the missing parts.


Also there was no instructions, do we need to put some grease onto the bushings before pressing them into the linkage rods?

The missing parts are yet to show up, at this point I may replace the Helwig with another make.

Here's another one. I found out my driver's side end link bolt broke also. Logged on here for the first time in a year and find out it's not unusual . But Hellwig sent me replacement parts and now I just need to find someone competent to fix it (that leaves me out, lol )
