I was checking out my normal parts supplier (Ebay, ha), and found these when I was looking for some new rubber for my swaybar:

Anyone have any experience with these? I haven't found any info on them using the search button. I seem to have found mixed reviews on whether or not poly is really any better - but for these prices, they're about the same as rubber, so I figure "why not", right? Any bad experiences?

See - that's why I love this forum- the attention to detail. And I'm glad I put my year and model in the signature line.
Luckily though, I did run out to the garage real quick and used a set of calipers to measure the bars, and yep - 24mm.

Well, I guess that settles it - ordered a full set of poly bushings for the front sway bar (they were starting to deteriorate anyways). I'm planning on redoing the suspensions at some point in the future, maybe the next year or so... if so, I'll probably get the rest of the bushings for the control arms, etc.

Luckily, the PO redid them at least fairly recently - had the rack off for a couple months while I was rebuilding the engine, and they looked great.
I'll probably redo them when I redo the suspension though.

I have them on my sway bar and the rear control arm. I installed them when I put on the turbo sway bar and I had to bent the mount because the whole thing was too round, but it looks like that's just me. Make sure you use all of the grease they give you! I didn't
