Guest Bob Barrow Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I need to replace front sway bar bushings (dried out & noisy). I have noticed that under various parts listings that they mention bushings for 1 1/8" & 1 1/16" diameter sway bars. My vehicle is a 1990 with 3.0 V/6. Anybody know which would be the correct bushings? Thanks, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89TC-16V Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Should have the larger diameter sway bar I'm almost certain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowancom Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Best bushings made. Do the job--do it once.http://polybushings.com/pages/moparfwdbarbush.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowancom Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) While your making an order--and your under the car--how about a rear sway bar. This made the most improvement to my cars of any mod I have donehttp://polybushings.com/pages/swaybarkrr.html Edited May 10, 2015 by cowancom (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostymosty Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 If you don't have the proper micrometer or caliper to measure your sway bar you could always use a c-clamp. Just clamp it to the bar at the point where it barely slips on and off the bar, take it off and use a tape measure to measure the opening of the c-clamp.

Guest BobFitz Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Another method to measure a round bar or whatever is to take a strip of paper and wrap it around the object slightly uneven, make a pen or pencil mark across both sides of the strip then take it off and measure between the marks and divide by 3.1416 (pi).Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowancom Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I was told there would be no math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
