What size front sway bar bushings to buy?

I want to replace the sway bar bushings on my front bar on my Z28. I can't remember for the life of me what size the sway bars are though, and I don't have the car with me to check it or look at the RPO codes because it's in the shop until next week sometime.

Does anyone know what size the FE2 equipped '91 cars had? I was thinking it was like 32mm front/24mm rear or something? I'm not sure, and I don't want to have to send the parts back and re-order new ones. Any help would be great.

As you know, without looking/measuring you can't really be sure, but check Post #1 of the following link:

Re: What size front sway bar bushings to buy?

That's what I thought it was, I may just try ordering a set of 36mm bushings...Thanks for posting that.



Edit: SummitRacing shows 34mm as their biggest front bushing for my car. What gives??


Edit(2): Spohn's site says the 36mm sway bar is the 1LE bar. Now I'm really confused. Looks like I'm going to have to just wait till I get the car back and measure it myself. Looks like I'll have no fun my first time driving the car home since it has no front sway bar and the wonder bar isn't on it either lol

The 36 mm is the so-called 1LE bar, as the JG1 alum shaft is the so-called 1LE shaft, as the 10-spoke alum spare is the so-called 1LE spare (but it won't fit PBR's). Shoot the 89-92 rear alum calipers are called 1LE's when all 89-92 rear disc cars were equipped with them. Anyway, the above pieces were available on non-1LE cars. You might check TDS for the bushings as well.

Note, the 1LE end links. Fun!

Re: What size front sway bar bushings to buy?

I think my 92 RS had a 30mm front bar. But I woudlnt put money on it. Some got the big bars stock. Depends on whether you had FE1 or FE2.
