which rear sway bar endlinks?

I had to cut off my old rear swaybar endlinks when I removed my rear recently to install the new 9". I bought a pair of Energy Suspension endlinks to replace them but I wasnt sure if I got the right ones. I got the same set that they have listed for the front sway bar since they didnt list one for the rear. Is that correct or is there a different set for the rear. I've got some play in the rear now when I get on the car hard now and I wonder if these links have anything to do with it. Thanks.

I would think the only thing that really matters is the height of the endlink. I'm sure that the rear isn't as critical anyway. Have you gotten them yet, do they look the same?

Yes I got them and they are on the car. I cut up the old ones pretty bad removing them since they were siezed and didnt keep them to compare when I got these. The back end just seems to get loose when I get on it now after installing the new rear, the car wants to jump to the side when I punch it, thought this might have something to do with it. I also know I need an adjustable panhard rod, I'm still using the stocker. The aligment of the rear is a bit off, it sits about 1/2 or more to the left than the stock rear did. Maybe its just the panhard rod that will fix this movement.

You could just be feeling the way a different differential works. It wouldn't be the end links, but yes the stock Panhard rod with rubber bushings certainly is the thing allowing the rear to shift left/right.

Yeah, I figured this rear would feel different, just didnt expect the amount of movement I was feeling in it. I ordered a BMR adjustable phr today, I thought that probably had more to do with it too but I wasnt sure if the endlinks were part of the problem too. Thanks for the help guys.
