I'm looking to buy a set of polyurethane bushings to replace on my sway bar..I've seen 2 different sizes to choose from: 30mm & 32mm..Does anyone know how to determine what size I need for my 98 1500 2wd 5.2l before I order them?
Thanks for your time!

 

Measure the bar with a cheap pair of plastic calipers.

 

Should my local autoparts have it?

 

Doubt it. Unless they carry some odd stuff. Wouldn't hurt to ask though.

 

any idea where I can buy one?

 

Call and ask, even a cheap metal dial caliper is only like 20 bucks. And they can be very handy at times.

here is what I did, no need to buy anything. I took the side panel from a cardboard 12 pack soda case. I used a ruler with a metric side and carefully cut a notch out of it (cardboard) about 1.5 inches deep and exactly 30mm wide. then tried to slip it over the swaybar. it wouldn't go so I concluded I have the 32mm bar.

 

Thanks for your advise Seabass..I used a 3X5 index card & measured 2 slots on it-one with 30mm & the other w 32mm wide..Then I carefully cut them 1.5" deep..I went out to my truck & tried them both..The 30mm was too tight & bent the card but the 32mm was just right..It saved me a few $'s..

 

This was a great idea about the measuring first (I got the wrong set after taking a 'guess'). My 96 4x4/1500/ram/5.9 turned out to have 30mm. Apparently nothing on my truck is what it seems. Shouldn't I have at least the 32mm being it's a 4x4?
