Ok.. whats the stock front swaybar size for a 87 turbo? Clarks garage says 22.5mm but there isn't an option on paragon's site for a 22.5mm bushing.

I need the center front sway bar bushings.

Edit, maybe i'm just stupid and need a 23mm bushing.

if you are talking about the inner bushing diameter, mine was 26.8mm.

I'm so lost its not even funny. Yes, I need the center busing.

Stock size for an 87T front sway bar is 25.5mm.

26.8 was not used until the Turbo S cars in '88.

Jim,
Thanks, so your saying I need to order the 25.5mm bushing?

Oddjob

Well...

Are you absolutely positive your car has the original sway bar on it?

Just measure it to make sure - calipers, or try fitting open end metric wrenches, or tighten a crescent wrench down on the bar and measure the jaws, or check the part number (951 343 794 02 = 25.5mm) on the bushing if it is still legible.

I'm 100% positive its original. Nothing was changed before I got it.

I would try to read the bushing, but its gone. As in, doesn't exist lol.

And I'm corrected once again. Mine too has the 25.5mm bar and that's what I installed last week. Not sure what I was thinking.

Thanks Oddjob. Sorry for the confusion Wes.
