I felt like this could helpful to you guys!
My OEM rear stabilizer end links and the replacement Moog K90714 end links I had were not adequate for my new sway bar. They had developed a clunk, were flimsy, not greasable, still used the annoying allen key design, and the bolts on the end weren't long enough to fully clamp down on my big Addco sway bar so the nut was only "half on". Frustrated by this, I went searching for a solution and ended up with the Moog K750098 end links designated for the front sway bar of several Nissan Versa, Cube, and Micra models. These are their high quality Problem Solver line of end links with grease fittings, a nut behind the bolt threads that allows you install the end links with a wrench on the back, and they come with the benefit of being super beefy along with hardly costing more than my old Moogs.
Before I pulled the trigger and bought the links, I had to find out the distance between the two bolts (Bolt length was 253mm for OEM/Old Moogs and 255mm for the new Moogs) and the thickness of the bolt (The HL uses 12mm in the front and 10mm in the rear). The old rear links used a 14mm nut on the end of the bolt and the new heavy duty Moogs used a 15mm (first discovered this by watching an installation video on a Nissan) while my old fronts used a 17mm; whereas the new fronts used an 18mm nut. I think it's safe to say that if your links use a 14/15mm bolt they are 10mm bolt end links and if they use 17/18mm nuts they are 12mm bolt end links.
I proceeded to buy the links and while I was installing them I was very pleased to see that they fit perfectly! The bar's angle did not visibly change at all (still looks parallel to the ground) and now the bolt clears my bar and can be fully tightened with even a little bit of spare thread sticking out! Now I have nice heavy duty greasable links to match my fronts, no more clunks and a perfectly fitted rear sway bar - hooray!
