Help me ID my front sway bar...
Bushing on right side is busted, so I need a new one (well two, doesn't make much sense to replace one rubber bit and not the other!). Trouble is, I can't tell what size the sway is and I'm not entirely sure how to read my caliper. Here is a picture:

I am guessing you have a 21.5 mm bar.

HAHA, great. Does the fact that I have an 85/1 change matters much? You guys are reading the "out" number, right?

The measurement shown on the caliper is a little over 23mm.
You use the "out" line when you are measuring the outside diameter of something (such as your sway bar).

I will go and re-measure now that I know that and attempt to get a reading at the car.

Camaro, I did bring it into the house and probably jostled it a bit. I'd rather "cut twice and measure once," know what I mean?

Why should I hope for 23.5?
I probably could check for the part number, yes. I will have to check on that.
