why, my vehicle has been thru 2 roadworthys ( change of ownership)
has both sway bars removed , and quite obviuos the mounting points are still there and no one blinked an eyelid.

In the end I bought the pretty gold ones as the kit (drag link, tie rod & TRE's) was readily available and delivered in Oz cheaper than the US cranked tie rod & TRE kit (not including delivery). But I do think the cranked tie rod is a better solution.

Genuine LR TRE's fit . LH thread one side RH thread other side.
One complete turn of the track rod is too much, taking a TRE out & turning it one turn is the same as turning the rod 1/2 a complete turn

Don't get me started
normally its the Defender pulling everyone out with ease. . . though the only 2 times its been stuck its taken a snatch block on a 12000lb winch to get it out.
to be fair the winch did the pulling not the rice burner
