I need to replace one of my sway bar bushings up front - I measured the bar with calipers and it is 22mm. But the bushings I have on there are "477.411.053K" which according to paragon is for a 24mm sway bar. I'm pretty confident in my measurements, and they list a different part number for 21.5mm sway bars which go through the 86 models. Should I just order the 21.5mm bushing and assume the PO installed the wrong size?

Please do yourself a favor and replace both sides.

How does the "good" bushing on the other side look? Just me, but I'd order the 24mm. If its wrong, 6 bucks is the cheapest "mistake" you'll make on this car.

well, the bushings that are on there now are actually $31 each, not 6. if I went with the ones that match my measurements, they would be $17 each. I intend to order both, I just didn't know if there was any known mix-up between the part numbers and sway bar measurements.

$62 seems a bit much for the part number of the bushings that are on the car now.

I forgot...the 21.5 bushing is the same price. I'm betting thats what you need. The car has one of 3 possibilities:
1. 21.5 solid
2. 24 hollow
3. Bobs House of Swaybars custom 22 :-)

so where are you seeing those prices?

you're never going to believe this, but I just double checked the sway bar thickness and it's actually 24mm. I was using some cheap brass calipers to measure before, and apparently they didn't bother to mark the scale to correct size..
