Front sway bar parts question

I've never built or de-soldered a roll bar, are the ball studs threaded inside?
Are the front sway bar parts simply re-packaged dubro parts?
If so is this the correct parts pack for the ball stud:

and these for a multi pack of just the ball cups:

I picked up a couple packs of each at the lhs. The 4pack of rod ends looks much whiter than the old AE ones I have. the single ballcup packaged with the stud is more clear/translucent like the used rollbar I am trying to replace.

Thanks!

That's the right stuff.

The 1st part is also correct for the RC12L ride height adjuster. The tall ball stud is 4-40 thread internally. Yes, AE just repacked the DuBro stuff. :roll:

:wink:

Thanks for the info. One more question, what is the proper size wire for making the bar?

"wing wire" for the rear, smaller for the front... :wink:
