This is why i just have new bushings pressed in the original rods. Will always fit and if you arn't having an alignment problem no need to have any adjustment made. 50% of the replacement rods never match up and too much time is wasted hunting down the right ones when a spring shop can just pop out and pop in new bushings in no time. Last ones i had done were for an old Frieghtliner spring ride. Took them 15 minutes to all four. All of those links have had so many different lengths and part numbers given to them over the last 50 years but the bushings have never changed.
