Title: Sway bar bolt size
Post by: Lori on June 30, 2025, 18:48:01

I ventured to replace the sway bar bushings this week and I cannot get the bolt out of the spacers on either side.  Anyone can tell me what size is the bolt?  I was planning on reusing since I am replacing the bushings with the urethane ones from wwheeler.

I ended up buying the bolts and spacers from niemoeller.  $17 shipping (added a few more bits and pieces that I needed to make it worthwhile).  Ordered on June 30 - received on July 3.

By the way, I'm loving the ride with the new urethane bushings

Good news and glad you like the urethane bushings! I have always said the sway bar is kind of a no brainer as far as using urethane bushings. No downsides just improved handling.

Thanks for the feedback.
