I was looking tonite for sway bar end links and bushings. They wanna know what size the swaybar is, they give me the choose of 30, 32 and 34mm. I don't know what size it is or were to measure. and I kind of wanna know if any you guys recomend and certain brand. so far I checked out these two energy suspension or prothane.

Measure the bar diameter at the point where the bushing mounts. I think the diesel is 1-5/16" or 34 mm.

I measured 32mm. I picked up a kit of Energy Suspension bushings from Autozone, part number 5.5126G (black). Haven't installed them yet though...

I'd get the black because it has lubricative properties built in. The red does not. Shouldn't really matter though.

I didn't know that. They just had a thing on there to pick a color and you could also buy grease for them also. They said greasable. I bought some grease. I figure better than stock and they probly won;t crack like stock either. just my 2 cents
