Title: Front swaybar diamater question
Post by: 80stepsideguy on December 25, 2007, 07:22:36 pm

Question,
i just purchased a swaybar off of ebay and it said 81-91 .Heres the link to it:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&sspagename=ADME%3AB%3AEOIBSAA%3AUS%3A11&viewitem=&item=150168555036

My question is what diamater do you think it is? The reason i ask is because i want to purchase all the necessary brackets and bushings this week and like to get a general idea on what it is.

thanks
pat

Would depend on the application as there is a 1 1/16" and a 1 1/4" diameter bar. Make sure you have the brackets that mount to the frame as well for the center bushings.

I emailed the guy on the dimensions on it.  There are no brackets.  if i dont get a answer from the seller i`ll have to wait and take a tape measure and go from there.

I figured they were 1 size all but i guess not.

I FINALLY got the bar and just measured the end and it comes out to 1 inch but I can only find bushings for 1 1/4 and 1 1/16 in polyurethane.  I seen them for regular rubber in 1 inch but i do indeed want polyurethane.  You think 1 1/16 is ok or to much play in the bushings?

thanks
