Trouble finding suspension part...
Im getting really frustrated. 
I need to replace the sway bar end links for my 79 F150 4wd (no lift), and no one sells the links. Every website and shop I go to tries to sell me "link kits" which just have the bushings
.
I've also searched the internet by the Ford part number (D8TA-5K483-BA), and nothing came up. Schucks (one of a few places I visited) searched by this cross-reference, and nothing came up. Why are these parts so hard to find? Does anyone know where else I could check? I've visited all FTE sponsors whose websites seemed appropriate, lmc, jegs, napa, schucks, rockauto, google shopping, amazon, a couple ford dealers, bronco GY, and more. I want new parts, if possible, so visiting the junk yard isn't my first choice. /help! please!

I checked rockauto, and the only part that is not the bushing kit is an acdelco part... but there are no pictures, and the descriptions are not helpful. have you bought these particular parts by any chance?
