Sway Bar

Besides actually measuring, how can I determine what size sway bar is on Camaro? Is there an RPO code that says? I went out to Pull A Part looking around for the heck of it, and started thinking a bigger sway bar would be good to have.

Wrap a string around it in a couple of places and measure, or simpler put a cresent wrench around it and measure the jaws. The hollow 36mm bar (and the hollow 34, I assume) have small drain holes near the end links.

Re: Sway Bar

To confirm what confirm what JamesC wrote, yes, all hollow 34mm sway bars will have a small drain hole on the end.

I wouldn't recommend going off of an RPO code, especially at a U-Pull It. The previous owner may have swapped in a different diameter bar and you would never know without measuring it. I have a caliper that I alwasy bring to the junkyard for stuff like that.
