"Clevite" rear sway bar end link bushings?

Hey guys - I was curious if anyone could identify this end link bushing? It came on a used 18mm rear sway bar I bought.

I googled the numbers printed on it but nothing really came up. I had already ordered some Moog 18mm end links but these ones seem to be in good shape (they look worse in the pic than in person) so was contemplating using them. Any help about what brand these are, quality of them, etc would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

John

I was just checking the bushings on the 20mm rear bar I picked up and they are Clevite as well. I think this might actually be the OE end link/bushing, seems to match the picture of this OE part (https://lmr.com/item/LRS-5C488B/mustang-rear-sway-bar-end-link-convertible-0511) , down to the teardrop shaped metal sleeve (which mine has at the chassis end as well). Looks like there is writing on the bushing too, which my bigger OE bars don't have.

Very interesting - thank you for letting me know! I ended up using the new Moog ones hoping they would fix the squeaking I couldn't track down (which ended up being a combination of 1 joint on my Watts link, the KW coilover spring, and the spring perch all squeaking in concert!).
