Question on sway bar sizes.... probably not the question you're thinking of)....

I've got an 88 GTA and want to order to Polyeurethane sway bar bushings. I know my sawy bars are 36 mm front and 34 mm rear, but what does that convert to in inches? Anyone know? Summit lists their Energy Suspension bushings' diameters in inches. Anyone have these parts on their GTA? Remember what size they were? Or anyone have a TI-85 handy and can do the conversion for me?

Thanks,

Dave M

25.4mm = 1 inch
So devide your sway bar size by 25.4 and you have inches. TA DA!

The largest rear sway bar I ever heard of was 24 mm, not 34. Don't order the wrong size

So using that formula for the correct size for a 24mm rear bar in inches would be 7/8s or 15/16s??

Dave, for the front bar just order the 1 1/4 bushings since thats the biggest they have. You might have to enlarge the holes slightly for the 36mm front bar.
