Default What front sway bar do I have?

My car has a lot of 87 parts and I think the sway bar is not one of them. Both passenger side bushings are broken (951 343 794 0 and 951 343 793 00) while drivers side (471 411 053 k and 951 343 793 00) are fine. I'm guessing its a 24mm so I can't use racers edge bushings. Also I can't believe the center bushing for the 24mm is $22 while the one for the 25.5 is only $6.50. So i'm going to be spending $80+ dollars on god damned bushings!?

measure it with a dial caliper.

If you don't have a caliper, see which size open end wrench will fit over it.

Good tip on the open end wrench. Also if the RH bushings are bad, suspect a PS leak. Consider getting a different sway bar for the difference in bushing cost.

I already bought my bushings. I should have looked for someone local thats parting.

I do have a power steering leak, I should have thought of that. I'll fix it during the summer, its one of the hoses. That must have added to its deterioration but I think the main factor is a small clamp was on a big bushing and simply squashed it.
