Got my ES bushings yesterday and I think they may be the wrong size for 91 WS6.

Front sway bar bushing that came in is 34mm amnd rear sway bar bushing is 23mm.

I though they were supposed to be 36mm and 24mm...but I've searched the forum and cannot find the specs.

help!!

IIRC, All WS6 Suspensions came with 36mm front & 24mm rear bushings. When I got my "36mm" greasable prothane bushings from Spohn, they said 1 3/8" which in actuality is only 34.925mm. This didn't worry me because 1.075 mm is an insignificant amount, and when you torque them down they close up just fine.

Is that true because i'm looking for a 36/24mm combo, and a guy has some 89 WS6 bars for sale but doens't know the size?

The only wat to be sure is to measure it. Just because it came off a WS6 car, doesn't necessarily mean it is original.

I know but he said that they were the stock WS6 sway bars so the question still remains...

All I can say is that I have never run into a WS6 that didn't come with 36/24 swaybars.

Around 85/86 they started putting on the 36/24 combo. All WS6 for 87-92 was 36/24mm. Earlier thirdgens had smaller sizes.

My GTA came with a 36/23 combo. I'm the second owner.

When I was replacing my rear swaybar bushings, I found this out. I had originally ordered 24mm's, but unfortunately they were too large. Lon sent me out a second set of greasable bushings in 23mm.

I remember searching and finding that not all late era WS6 cars had the 36/24 combo. I'm sure someone over in the History/Restoration board could verify this.
