Looks like you have an 1 1/4" sway bar with 1 1/8" bushing on it. WES

**Classic Heartbeat** · 06-21-2010, 11:25 AM

Measure the end of your sway bar to see what the dameter is. WES

Sinister · 06-21-2010, 04:10 PM

I'll forewarn you on that gasket, it's from LMC. I bought it and gave it to you before I knew any better. May be alright or may be a PITA. Good luck with it.
