bushings for front swaybar

[140cilx]

Howdi folks,

Noticed the front sway bar bushings (all of them) are falling apart. Is this a Ford purchase, Energy Suspension, or SVOPaul?

If I should go energy suspension could someone tell me the diameter of the swaybar?

thanky!

I would go for the energy suspension's from Paul...

I have 2 sets of sway bar bushnigs sitting in my garage that I ordered from other places that were wrong...

Call Paul, and he will sell you the right ones the first time!!!

I was just at Paul's yesterday as he was unpacking ES Poly Sway Bar parts that had just been delivered. Very nice....very very nice.

Diameter...?

Just for knowledge sake, what exactly IS the SVO sway bar diameters? And are all years the same?

[svo1fast4]

I think it is a odd size like about .200 of a inch.

Just an added note about the swaybar. I just ordered the mounting brackets and an endlink kit from Ford today. So part of our car is still available.

Mounting bracket: E6SZ-5486-A
End Link Kit: E6ZZ-5A486-A

Stock Swaybar Diameter

Shadow27,

I believe the stock front swaybar is 1.12" or 1 1/8" or 28mm diameter.

and

I believe the stock rear swaybar is 0.67" or ~11/16" or 17mm diameter.

Well thank you sir! I can't believe that with all the searching that I did, I could not find any info on this!

[svobud]

actually ... the info you were looking for is listed on the FAQ page.

I believe that the swaybar will be measured in millimeters, I have measured mine before, with my dial calipers, but I can't remember the exact dim. I am fairly sure that it wasn't a standard size though. I will measure again tomorrow, and post here.

[SVO P51]

Well, I measured my Swaybar today and it is 1 3/16, whether that applies to anyone else or not I don't know, since the FAQ lists 1 1/8.
I also found that I have a broken Swaybar Mount,at the subframe, oh well

Bud I wasn't posting over you, just around the same time I guess.

[Pat_in_L.A.]

1 3/16 - 1 1/8 = 1/16.

1/16 / 2 = 1/32.

It must have a 1/32' coat of paint on it.

LOL

Nope, just shiney steel where the bushing has been rubbing.

That's true, I had found that info already, but it is listed as 1.12" and no one sells swaybars or bushings using this measurement, and since I am mathematically challenged, I didn't know what this would be in standard measurements.
