I need to replace my sway bar links and the Bushing on my sway bar. My question is the Auto parts store claims there is 2 different bars that came on the 04. 30 mil and 32 mil. How can I tell the difference easily?

 

Ithink I found my answer. is this right?


Measure-Sway-Bar-How-To




Why are there so many different sway bar bushing sizes for my application?

Much to the dismay of many buyers - almost all automotive manufacturer's used several different size sway bars in their vehicles. There is no rhyme or reason to this practice. It is random and different between cars of the same make, model, year etc. The ONLY way to ensure you're buying the correct size bushings for your car is to actually physically measure the sway bar. The is most commonly done one of two ways.
•1 - Wrench method. This is quite simple - just take a set of wrenches and see which one fits over the bar correctly. For example - if a 18mm wrench fits perfectly over your sway bar - then you have an 18mm sway bar! Not all of us are lucky enough to be able to us this method as there are at times mid-sizes like 23.5mm etc. See below if you fall into this category.


•2 - Crescent Wrench Method. Just a little more complex than the wrench method. Simply tighten down your adjustable crescent wrench down over your sway bar. When it's tight - slip the wrench off and measure between the ends of the prongs. The distance between these is the size of your sway bar.
