I'm not sure, it might have something to do with the SS's having the 22mm front sway bar to begin with. Maybe the 2.2 one isn't as thick?

I sent them an e-mail about this and they replied back saying that it would work. 2.2's may have a smaller bar, but the hole the end-link bolts thru is the same size on both. i'll be ordering these next week. I'll let you know how it turns out

I have those on my 2.2 Ion and they fit perfect...they were worth the buy too btw.

the 2.0 may have a bigger sway bar but that shouldn't effect the position of the links since it is the same suspension setup.

The creaking is probably the bushings on the drive train cradle. its a common problem. When you put your new links on (they will fit), loosen the bushings up and grease them.

The rubber bushings under the U shaped brackets that the bar goes through on the cradle. I don't know what grease they recommend, but we just use white grease. When you remove the links you should be able to slide the sway bar one way enough to grease it and then slide the bar back into position. When the bushings get dry, they creak when the sway bar twists in them.

White lithium grease. You will probably have to loosen the brackets on the bushings to be able to slide the sway bar over.
