Rear End Link Fitment
Hi
I bought a set of Energy Suspension end links. I would be using them for the rear on my 5th gen. The original end link bolts are 12mm in diameter whereas the new end link bolts are 3/8" which means the new end link's bolts are roughly 2.5mm smaller than the originals. At the mounting point, the bolt is a little "hotdog down a hallway". Should I even attempt to use these end links or will the end link develop play under force even when tightened down?
Image for reference:

Putting those on like that will end badly...
Why not get some spacers with a 9.5mm ID and a 12mm OD to use as an adapter?
