I don't understand why some would be 16 and some 20. I could see if one was 4wd and the other was 2wd, but other than that how do they decide? I also need replace my sway bar bushings. Where did you find the moog ones thunder?

I have a caliber and will measure it tomorrow.

here are the part numbers
MOOG Part # K3160

i bet i have the 16mm its pretty small. i also found that one of my bump stops was completely gone, lol

hahahahaha

but they can make into a trick tuning deal if you unhook the rear to loosen the back end up a little. I'm debating unhooking my rear because I'm constantly lifting a tire.
