Sway-bar bushing sizes

[RJ-92]

I was thumbing through my Jegs catalog and I came across Poly Sway-bar bushings. Only problem is that the sizes they sold were all standard. Our swaybars are metric. I'm putting on a 26mm RSB and if my conversions are correct that is about 1 1/32 of an inch (I think). would it be OK to use a straight 1" or 1 1/16" bushing or should I find a 26mm one? I heard too tight is bad.

PS, The bar is worn slightly where the bushings would go so I think 1" is about right

26mm = 1.0236 or 1&3/128". I used 1" from Jegs with no problems.

How much were they, dude? I need bushings for my sway bars. and how are the poly compared to those new TRW (is that right?) or TPR bushings?? anyone know?? (also, do I need to change the sway bar links when putting in a bigger bar?) Thanks.

$15 for the mounting bushings. $15 for the links too. They come in different lengths, not sure what size they are.

Depending on how bad the links are you might want to change them. I changed all the links on mine when I put the springs and struts in.
