Front sway bar link measurement

Hi i have front dinan sway bars front and rear
The end spherical balls each end of sway links are worn and making clicking noises over bumps

The measurment is 415mm centre to centre
Can anyone measure stock ones please to see if this works? I threw mine out years ago

Alternatively can i order sway links either completely or ends only?? The ends are different as top one is m12 and spherical washer and bottom is m10

The manual does list some part no but description and qty doesnt match up and doesnt actually show what part no is what

Any help is appreciated
Thanks

It looks like they are around 340mm. I would contact Dinan and see if they can sell you just ends with the balljoints, or at least the whole end link assembly.
Even if you could make the stock ones work without binding, you'd at best be down to just 2 settings (high and low), as you'd have to use the same hole on each side. You might even be forced into only one setting to prevent binding.

I'd stick to getting new endlinks for the dinan if you can. BTW, are you 100% sure the nuts for the links are torqued down properly? I had a clunk a few thousand miles after installing mine and turned out one of them had come loose. To be sure I would jack up the front to get the weight off and check that way.
