Help! end link sway bar problem! 200

Upon getting ready to install the turbo front sway bar on my stock 240 (89) today I thought I would install the IPD link bushings and install the new IPD end link bushing that connects to the control arm before I put the bar on. The Turbo end links came with the bar from the yard

Much to my horror...after pressing out the old end link control arm bushings, installing the IPD polys and the steel sleeve, I found that the bolt was too big to go through the hole in the sleeve. Now what!! I pressed the old rubber bushing back in..thinking I can use this. I will do the install this weekend sometime, before IPD is open.

Question? Is the end link on my stock DL smaller, have a thinner bolt than the Turbo end link? If so, I may still be able to use the IPD bushings and sleeves, if they are the same as the Turbo links IPD screwed up good!

I haven't taken the stock bar off yet thank God, but will tomorrow or Monday. Does anyone know if Turbo end links use larger bolts to the control arm than the standard DL? They would have to, or IPD is all wet. Are the Turbo end links the link of choice even though the IPD bushings can't be used? Help!!

p.s I put the back bar on and man it looks like there is going to be quite a difference!!
