V6 swaybar size

Hi, im bought new endlinks (both are broken) for my front swaybar and decided to do the swaybar bushings and add a wonder bar. I found some bushings on summit but I'm not 100% sure they're right. They say for 34mm, is that what the V6 came stock with?

And am I going to see a huge difference, since basicly the car has no front swaybar now and i'm adding a wonder bar with poly bushings?
Thanks.

Re: V6 swaybar size

Your last sentence is confusing, but here goes.

The wonderbar will make the steering more precise.

You do have a sway bar now, its most likely not a 34mm bar. You need to get a set of calipers and measure it.

New bushings for the bar are a good idea, but probably wont make a difference that you will notice.

Re: V6 swaybar size

Really? What size ya think it is?
And I say I basicly have no swaybar since both endlinks are broken off so it's not hooked to either control arm.

Re: V6 swaybar size

its probably a 32 at most.

if both end links are busted, you will notice quite a difference when you hook them back up.

Maybe, maybe not. Your best bet is to measure as 86 mentions.
