My front swaybar ends are in need  of replacement. When I checked out buying new, I ran across Zip's and it said something about sway-bar end link kit with "correct" bolts. How would I know if mine were  "not correct".

Original stabilizer end links bolts were not zinc-plated, or galvanized, as most replacements are. If yours are black(or were at one time!), they are probably orig. The heads of the bolts would also have a "UB" headmark on them; the washers and sleeves are a natural finish, meaning no coating(read:RUSTY!). The nuts should be cadmium(silver) plated.
The kits are not that expensive, anyway, so why not go for original?
