sway bar problem

I felt a clunk noice coming from under the car & I dont know how, but one of the metal bushing clamps broke. & now I cant find a new one. Does anyone knows the size sway bar for my car. Its an 88 GTA & it has an auto 305.
& where to get them. If there is a company that makes stronger ones, Im intrested. Thanks in advance.

Regardless of bushing size, the shell/bracket is the same. You might check with TDS, a board sponsor, though these would be a dime a dozen at a JY.

Good grief! I'd walk too. Advertise in the classifieds--shoot if I had them at hand, I'd throw them in a box and send them.

Re: sway bar problem

I just redid my entire suspension - getting rid of what may have been 20 year old parts in some cases. I have two of the brackets you need (4 if you need the rears too). If you want them I'll go dig them out of the trash at the curb (I finished cleaning up only a few hours ago). My car is an '88 GTA also, 5-speed, but I'm sure its the same part. Let me know if you want them. I can drop them in the mail to you.

Re: sway bar problem

I just checked & I've got a set on my garage floor as well. Let one of us know & I'll be glad to ship them as well.
