Legacy sway bars

[Fairtax4me]

Is there a difference in the size of the sway bars between the L LS LSi and GT models? I assume there is but I can't find anything that says exactly what the size difference is if any. The junkyard I go to charges $12 for a sway bar, and it would be so nice to get a little larger one on this thing to cut down on body roll.

look here:

drill down for L, GT, and then LSi. then compare the part numbers.

Are those actual Subaru part numbers? Because that's my new favorite website if they are.

 

They come up with different part numbers. And there's a place under the listing for the stabilizer bar that appears to be which years the part was used and it says Stabilizer D=xx. I'm guessing that's the size in MM. There's a 1mm difference between all the fronts and all of the rears. Not sure how much difference 1mm will make. There might be a complete overhaul of the suspension in the works then.

If I remember right, for 90-99 Legacys:

Front Swaybars are the same for all for the most part.

L, LS, LSI will have 14mm rear bar.

96-99 GT 16mm rear bar.

96-99 Outback 18mm rear bar.

if you click on the part number it will give you a usage page for that part. then click on usage info and it will list the cars and years for that part.
