115 metal sway bar links fit a 123
 
My rear sway bar links were clunking so I decided to replace them. I found out that the links for 115 body cars are steel so I decided to buy a pair of those instead. They are all metal (except for the bushings inside the sockets on the end) and about 1/4" longer than the 123 links. The threaded piece is also a touch longer, but a 3/8" lock washer took up the slack.

So far I'm pleased. The rear-end clunk is gone. Now I just need to take care of the front end clunks and groans, oh and the fuel lines around the tank and the seat springs and.....

I'll be sure to remove a couple of wheel weights to compensate.
