94CutlassSLCoupe Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 I would have to measure mine for sure..but i believe it to be 14mm on the rear for an LQ1 car. The bushings on the end are the same for all the bars and i think its slightly larger than the bar diameter My car is an Fe1 car and i installed the Z34 bar on it FWIW.

birdman Posted December 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 when i looked at the front bushing it looked like it went down t like 7/8 at the bushing but im not for sure. reason im asking is because i cant find any poly bushings at the store that go as big as 34mm.

mfewtrail Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 I was told by someone to get these for the FE3 34mm bar. 9.5160 (these are the smaller 24mm bushings) 9.5167 (these are 33mm in size) ...and I'll add this from an old post where I posted those same #'s for someone else. "Those sizes are what Jon told me were actually on his car. I think he said the 34mm they offer is a tad too big and it might be a little difficult to get the 33's on there, but they work."

birdman Posted January 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 finally proof that is does get smaller at the end bushings!!! i took pics and nobody can argue with that... i hope. here they are, as you can see the sway bar gets considerably smaller at each end, does anyone know what its diameter is there? thanls.

Guest TurboSedan Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 I was told by someone to get these for the FE3 34mm bar. 9.5160 (these are the smaller 24mm bushings) 9.5167 (these are 33mm in size) i'm gonna have to agree with Matt. i have the 34mm front bar sitting in my garage. i couldn't measure it for sure but i tried to put one of my 22mm Addco rear bar bushings on the end of the 34mm front bar and it was a little too small. so 24mm sounds right to me.

pwmin Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 i used 9.5160 for the outer bushings and 9.5173 for the inners but i think i should have gotten the inners a mm or 2 smaller (aka 9.5167 as mentioned) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loominaz34 Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 I'm not arguing that it does in fact get smaller but I don't think that having the ends a little smaller is goinr to hurt the torsional rigidity of the bar that much. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman Posted January 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 i didnt mean it that way it was just that nobody could give me the outer size and said it only had 34mm bushings. thanks everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
