Re: sway bar question
It changed from year to year. I believe that the rear was always 18 or 20mm but I can't be sure about that. The front went from 20mm to 22mm in 96' iirc.
This information has been discussed in the past.

Re: sway bar question
i figured it was, i tried searching for it but couldn't find anything. i was asking so i could get replacements and do them while i do my shocks and then order the ES ones whenever you found that info for me.
thanks again.

Re: sway bar question
The drawings I made of the SuperPro bushings that were in the kit I had were for a 20mm rear bar and a 22.8mm front bar. I know that I looked at the ES stuff once and the problem I found was that even with an ES bushing of the correct ID the stock clamps are not the right size to hold the bushing. You would have to find a way to secure the ES clamps to the chassis.
