Normally they both work, the one with holes either end dependant on model needs spacing to fit properly.

If it's still on the plastic Scoob OE ones, think about some solid ones, they do ride harder though.

If you want OE ones, a Scoob dealer will advise.

IIRC, there are the ordinary ones and rose jointed ones, the latter being more ££
