Front Sway Bar Bushing Size

1 Attachment(s)

I have to replace the sway bar bushings that are oil soaked & swelled up in size.

Does anyone know what size bushings I need?

All the auto part places are listing multi sizes.

The truck is just a 83 Silverado 2wd 1/2 ton w/305 & auto.

Re: Front Sway Bar Bushing Size

cant you just measure the diameter of the sway bar? ....or is the bracket different?

The brackets are not different. I took a measured circumference of 3.5" which equals 1.114085"

So, would that be equal to maybe a 1 1/16" bar?

Use a cresent wrench standard saw model, and a tape measure.
