front sway bar bushings 1987 na 944
I need front sway bar bushings but everywhere I check lists two sizes. 21.5mm and 26.8mm. How are you suppost to know which size you have. I dont have anything that measures in millimeters. Anyone have answers?

The stock bar for your car is 21.5mm. Unless you have the sport suspension option (M030), or the previous owners made a swap, this should be the right size. However, since there are many swaps taking place, it's best to actually measure the bar before ordering. It can be anything from 21.5-30mm.
NAPA, and other parts stores, sell a very cheap (not inexpensive - cheap) plastic measuring caliper that's perfect for such things - usually less than $5.
Good Luck!

Or measure in inches, convert to decimal inches if needed by dividing the fraction (11/16" = .6875"), then multiply by 25.4 to get to millimeters. 11/16" = ~17.5 mm.
