Rockauto only has one Moog and one Mevotech sway bar link, I'm not sure if these are compatible or if they'd be restocked since they are wholesaler closeouts. The part numbers match, is Mevotech any good? I know Moog is the go-to. Any input is appreciated.
Also no matter how I did it I couldn't find the size for the sway bar bushing, closest I got was 27.287311758, but there's not a 27mm so should I order 28mm?

Engine: Toyota 2.4l diesel non-turbo (from a 1985 pickup) installed in 2009
I usually just get the sway bar link repair kit (bushings,etc without the link)
but if I wanted to replace the whole link, I'd get the Moog. No experience with
the Mevotech, but it is always listed as a cheaper brand so I stay away..
As for the bushing that holds the bar to the frame, just measure the sway bar with
a calipers and get the next size smaller. If the 27.2 mm you mention is the thickness
of the sway bar, then get 26mm bushings. The holes enlarge fast enough as the poly
compresses.
The Moog kit with the link is cheaper than just the bushings. Maybe I could get the kit with the link for one side and just the Moog bushing for the other?
Engine: 4.0, new lifters valve job with new springs and exhaust valves, preload set with shims
have broken 2 sets of the cheap ones. Moog is the only one that's greaseable. For as much of a PITA as they are to replace, which if you are familliar, they are HUGE pita IMO, I went with the Moog and have no prob. since then.

I'd like to order Moog and I'm not questioning their quality but there is only one in stock.
