hatchsub Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Has anyone put a caliper or have measurements in a book for what this is supposed to be? Reason i ask is im going to to get poly bushings if i can for this bar so that when it gets here i can just throw it all in and go. I might only be able to get poly bushings for the part that connects to the bottom of the car and not the suspension itself however. If memory serves that bushings attaching the bar to the suspension are weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLCraig Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Try taking the open ends of a few different metric combination wrenches, i.e. 17mm 19mm 22mm and seeing which one has the tightest fit; around the swaybar. That will probably get you close enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjw Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) 0.89 hundredths on the turbo one. 0.79 hundredths on the regular one. I took this measurement off the bar I shipped to you,Steve. By the way,I sent it "standard mail" USPS,days ago. It should be there at your place this week. Edited December 3, 2008 by markjw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown_Muscle Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Has anyone noticed a difference in handling by upgrading the sway bar? Or how about the turbo struts and springs along with the sway bar? Is it worth yanking if i find one at the yard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchsub Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 I will let you know shortly. They are stiffer springs and slightly lower (if you use the EA81T springs with 2wd struts you will lower your car). The sway bar is slightly thicker. All in all it should stiffen up the handling in front. I will report back once i actually bolt it all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 As per my 1984 FSM: Non-turbo is 20mm or 0.79 inches Turbo is 22mm or 0.87 inches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
