Yet another Sway bar question
First off.. it is a 78 SC 2wd 400 with the Camper Special package. I need to replace the bushings on the front and back sway bars, I have searched everywhere looking for what the standard size is for the Sway bar diameter. When I look up parts on the usual parts sites for my year, I can order bushings that are for 7/8, 1, 1 1/16, or a 1 1/8 inch bar.
Do I just need to go measure my bar diameter and hope I got all the 40 years of crud off or is there a standard size?

You will need to use the universal line of the sway bar bushings and end link grommets. To insure you get the correct bushing you will need to measure your bar. Look at this website with the dimensions and you should be able to find the bushings and grommets you need: http://http://www.aftermarketsuspens...om/catalog.asp
