Default Swaybar sizes

I'm not quite sure what size the front swaybar is in my car. Its a 90 944S2 Cabriolet. It does not have M030 or anything. Some places say it's 25.5, some say it's 26.8 with or without M030. I've been looking for a while now. Not sure. Thanks!

I'm looking to replace the bushings, but all the sites make you choose which size. They don't just tell you what you have.

I guess I could do that... :-) That's no fun though. :-) Seriously, I don't have a guage, and I wanted to order bushings today.

Porsche changed their sway bar sizes frequently. The same exact models had different sizes year to year. Hardtop models only had the 26.8 with the m030 package - but I know nothing about the cabs.

So - get a piece of string, get under your car, and divide by pi.

it's easy to measure and equipment to do it isn't that expensive.

you can take an adjustable wrench to the bar, turn it down, then take the wrench and measure the gap or if your wrench is cool like mine it has a gauge on it!!!
