Are there different steering stabilizer bars?

My steering stabilizer was bent and i had someone replace it with one off of a suburban, but then my stabilizer shock didn’t fit.

Can I just buy a different shock or do I need a different stabilizer bar?

There is no “stabilizer bar”, it sounds like you’re talking about the tie rod.

There are 2 versions of the tie rods based on years.

The sway bar can be called a stabilizer bar, but I agree, must be referring to the tie rod.
