Default sway bar end links

A few months ago I developed a knocking sound in the front end going over bumps at low speeds. I've narrowed it down to the sway bar hitting the lower control arms. Before I go to cutting, sleaving and welding the stock end links, I was wondering if anyone knows if there is anyone who makes an adjustable set that would fit the 2nd gen?

hey all... well, i just removed the end links last night and tied off the sway bar. i took some measurements and got on the old puter and started searching for fixes. i ran across http://www.midwestcontrol.com/ and ordered a bunch of stuff... aluminum hex rod threaded lh/rh, aluminum heim joints with lh/rh threads (anodized red), some lock nuts and some ball end washeres to protect the heim joints and bolts i'll be using to connect the swaybar and struts to the end links i'm building. i'll take pix of the set up and let you know if i screwed up and wasted some money. until then... I'M OUT!!

cool...I had to make endlinks for my bagged S10. The stock endlinks bent the first time I layed it out. I made some using modified shock stud extenders and heim joints with a clevis mounted to the lower control arm. Problem solved.
