Grab a dial caliper and measure the diameter (in mm) anywhere on the bar where it's straight (not on the curves). I usually do mine in the middle of the bar.

Re: How to measure sway bar thickness?
Late to the party! If anyone is looking for a way to measure without an expensive caliper, there is a free printout:

You just have to print it, cut it and wrap it over the bar.

You can also use an adjustable wrench and a ruler or tape measure. Just tighten the adjustable wrench down on sway bar, slide wrench off and measure the opening on wrench
