99 Cobra Rear Sway bar end-link problem

[Johnny99]

The end-links needed replacing so I ordered a set of Moog K80102 replacements. After removing the old ones I see the threaded shaft on the new ones are much shorter, too short actually. When trying to install them the stud going into the lower control arm is so short that the nut bottoms out after about six turns. The stud doesn't even clear the nut. Anyone run into this before? Thanks

If it don't fit it's not the right item imho

My thoughts too. The part # checks out but I'm going to contact Moog today see what they say.
