What size are they?

Im trying to find out what size Sway bars I have. I got the code FE2 but that code is for a bunch of sizes....I measured the front and rear and they roughly measure about, <front measures about 1" 3/8 and the rear measures about 1" >
What is that converted to MM? I want to replace them with the greasable ES bushing they have at AutoZone...so I need to know exactly what size I have,,,

thanks

Screw the codes.

Take a Crescent wrench, and tighten it around the bar where the bushings go; slip it off, and measure it with a ruler.

Reality is ..... reality. Codes are prone to being wrong, from stuff being changed during the life of a car.

I forgot to give the measurement I got with a tape measure..


The rear is 7/8th and the front is I think 1"1/4 or 3/8's

so what would that be in MM?

1" = 25/4 mm

Take what you got and do the math, and go to the store and buy your parts

I do not want to be held responsible for the results. This warranty gives you specific legal rights which may vary from state to state; warranty may not be valid in all 50 states; batteries not included; etc. (Translation: you measure it, after that you're on your own, you better get closer than 1/8")

the measurement I got is from doing it with a cresent wrench like you said to do...the rear is 7/8
My cresent wrench wouldnt go out far enough for the front but Im pretty sure its 1" 1/4
