was its size 1 1/4 or 1 5/16
i think it was 1 5/16 but just wanted to make sure
thanx all
anyone??? input is appreciate
1 and 5/16 is correct
I have 3 -86 turbo coupes sitting here with 1&1/4" bars on them stock. It's only a 1/16 differance. What size does a standard T bird have on them?
Mine is from an 88 , so I can only speak for mine :D
I have no idea on the earlier cars but my stock bar was 1 and1/8 , my car is a V8 lx
hcor you have pm
the tc have the 1 1/4 sway bar on front
the frame bushing (engery suspention ) part number is 4.5108
What method are y'all using to measure the bars ?
All my part reference catalogs dont even show 1 1/4 bars listed
1 1/8 and 1 5/16 are the only bars over 1 inch

I have listings for a 1 1/4 bar for stangs but not birds :confused:
When I put my bars on my car I bought these bushings
moog #k80097
I used the wrench measure method
I used a set of veiner calipers and measured between 1.255 and 1.290
I have about 4 85-88 TC front sway bars laying around
with the enery suspention bushings and endlinks, it stiffen up the 85 alot and handles a ton better.
I see, from what I understand 5/16 is like .30/.31ish
So I guess there is a real little difference .
Maybe I will try the energy suspension bushings
5/16 is .312
unes your dealing with valve stems, then they range from .311 to .315
I was guessing after trying to do math in my head :hick:
I went down to my garage again today and a 1 1/4 in wrench does not fit on my bar , I'm calling it production variances :D
poor quality pics but I think it shows what I mean
I remeasured with a micrometer and came up with 1&5/16
the 1 5/16 bushings will be a tad loose tho get the I 1/4 ones they have a bit of a crush
I tried the 1 5/16 and got a bit of a clunk, installed the 1 1/4 and no more clunk
dont forget the matching end link kit !!
