The one on the right will not thread on. Needs to have that tapered/self tapping end.
IF you have confirmed the thread pitch and diameter as the same and it doesn't fit...my GUESS would be the threads are damaged on the nut side. You may just need to run a tap through it.

Again, this IS if the two bolts pictured are the same thread and diameter.

This happened to anyone? Missing bolt in my rear sway bar link. Not broke just appears to have come loose. Is it ok to drive without it? I’ve already ordered a replacement.

Hey I just noticed the same thing on mine, I was walking back from inside gas station and noticed my links hanging down. One bolt missing but I managed to save the other.

where did you end up finding the bolt at? Here’s mine.

I bought the JT Overland used and it has several aftermarket mods. Based on your pic, looks like my end link is also after market. But There’s a faded “M” on the bolt that indicates it’s mopar?

Thanks - new owner and new to the forum, not sure how it all works yet. Appreciate everyone's responsiveness and willingness to help though! Happened to find this thread after I made one and noticed it was exact same situation

Find a bolt that works and install it. It's probably a M12x1.50 and something like a 55 or 60. Any good hardware store will have them.
