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?

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?
