Default Help with Sway bar links

98.5 1.8tqa
I purchased new sway bar links for the front of my car - I went to insall them and they are different than the ones that are currently on my car. The ones that are on my car and one pc. with studs in each end and the new ones have a bolt that goes through the middle. is this a problem? Or just a new design?

Did a little bit more research - in 2000 there was a design change from ball joint style to thru hole. One last question

I purchased a set off of ebay from a private party - one Meyle one Febi - the Meyle one came with hardware and the Febi one didn't - now I need hardware. Is there anything special about these bolts? - they have a green tint.

LOL. I sent them just a little bit ago, they said about 4 buisness days. The green suff is just lock tight I believe, if your worried about not getting them tight enough without it I would get a little from the hardware store.
