I did not take any as it installs exactly as OEM does. I purchased the new endlinks, I guess I could have saved more time if I installed the endlinks on the bar.
I will say it is much easier to install the bar with the end links connected. That removes one force trying to fight you when you assemble the end links that connect to the strut. You need to procure a set of graded hardware to replace the left hand side bracket that is not re-used. (two nuts, two bolts, four flat washers and two split lock washers)
