Front Sway Bar Bushings wrong size?

[FOMOCOTOSHO]

Has anyone found the front sway bar bushings to be the wrong size when ordering replacements? I have a '95 ATX and it says the SHO should have either a 24mm or 25mm sway bar in the front for SHO's, and the standard Tauruses have 19mm. I measured mine 3 times with a digital caliper and mine are 20.5mm (which is a size listed for the REAR sway bar on non-SHO models)

I haven't installed them yet but I know the size is measured properly. Has anyone come across this & maybe the catalogs are wrong? Ford says that kind of information is not listed in their computer for finding the correct size. I'm wondering if someone has replaced this sway bar for some reason before I got it?

Sounds about right.

This is for gen 1 and early gen 2 SHOs. From '93 ATXs and up the front size varied.

FWIW, the Ford parts catalogue shows the 93-95 ATX as having a 0.87" front bar, same part number as the 86 - 95 wagon.

By 95 they were clearing the parts bins and anything can happen. I'd order the size needed from one of the many people here, or get the size bar you REALLY want and get those size bushings.
