New Rear Sway Bar Links Are 1/2" Too Long?

[MART60]

My 74 T/A has the 2 bolt bottom clamps on the links from the factory.

I ordered new Links, but they're a 1/2" too long.

Will a 1/2" be enough to mess up

Handling and Ride?

Or should I send them back?

Thanks, One and All.

I measured the Old Links from Weld to Weld 9 - 3/8".

New Links I bought 9 - 3/4".

Does anyone know the actual factory length for 74 455 13/16 " dia Rear Sway Bar.

I thought 74 had the 1 Bolt Links.

I guess it was a transition year, some old style, some new style.

Thanks, One and All,
