Default how do i measure what size sway bar bushings I need?

I need new sway bar bushings but i'm a bit confused as to what sizes I need and if I screw up then i'll have to pay to send them back to paragon.

i just took a piece fo tape and put it around the middle of the sway bar to measure the circumfrence and got 75 mm (about that) and divided it by pi and got 23.875 mm for the diameter.

so is my sway bar a 24 mm sway bar? and do i need to measure any other part to get all the bushings?

my car is an 85.5 model if that helps.

get ur 24mm wrench out and see if it fits around the bar snug... get a cheap dial caliper. I have a cool adjustable wrench from Home Depot- Husky i believe- that has the measurements metric on one side and american on the other side- so open it up to 24mm and see how close it is...
