Part number's?

[whitewabbit]

It seam that I am doing more researching than fixing. I want to do the front and rear sway bar bushing's and link's. But am confused about the mm's. Ive got an 89. Is there a way to tell what mm the f/r bar's are? I dont have a gauge to tell me exactly. I beleive they are original. I think they are from what ive read 24mm front and 26mm rear. any backyard trick's to tell what Ive got?

24mm on front, 26mm on rear

As for backyard tricks, you could use a simple piece of string/tape wrapped around the diameter of the sway bar. Then just lay the string out flat and measure the length in mm's. Of course, this will only get you "close" to the actual diameter of the bars. Unless any prior owner's swapped sway bars, the 89's are as listed by DHMag.

Let me highly suggest going with the Moog TPR replacment bushings. Unbelievable difference in response from the worn out factory rubber bushings.

any bushing, whether it be new rubber, poly, or TPR is better than a worn out bushing.

i have Energy Suspension bushings on mine. 15/16" diameter for the front, 1" for the rear. oh, and the metric version of 15/16" and 1" is 24mm and 25mm, respectively. dont quote me but i believe the ES part numbers are 9.161 and 9.160

Us a metric open end wrench to see what size the bar is.

OK Ive got The Idea. Let me pick youre brains one last time on this subject. Ive read up on the installation Any tip's on the actual instalation besides the PB.

The rear bushings are easy.

The fronts will probably require you to lower the rear of the subframe several inches to more easily get to the bushings.
