Re: measuring a sway bar?
Slide an open ended wrench over the bar until you find one that fits snug. It won't tell you if it's imperial or metric but can be a quick way to check the rough size.

Re: measuring a sway bar?
Make sure you take the measurement from the center of the swaybar. If you go somewhere else, the measurement might be skewed because of the bends.
