It actually depends on the model. 87-88 TC's are 1 5/16. Sports and XR7's are bigger than base models too, though I don't know if they're the same as TC's

Yeah, the 20th is 33mm too (1.3") or 1 5/16" (1.312") is a close enough approximation.

Turbo Coupes, Sports, and XR7s should have a 7/8" rear sway bar. Now a 5.0 Base, LX, or GS will have a very thin bar, about 1/2" or so. If you have a 3.8 you don't have a rear bar :hick:
