Does anyone know the size/type of bolts that hold the bushings on? and maybe the length of the rods that connect the bar to the control arm?
Thank You !

Man, the undertow in Clearwater must be bad this time of year! smile.gif

I've got my front suspension apart at home, and I have all new hardware for it. I'm at work, but could measure them for you when I get home - or better yet, just send you my old ones - the ends for the control arms are in excellent condition, the bolts for the bushings are in very good condition.

Don't buy any old bolt - they are grade 8.

The undertow is not bad, the bad undertow is usually on the east coast. Yea, I can wait till you get home, I have rebuilt my front end also, my wagon did not have sway bars, so I have nothng to go by. I am going to use the poly bushing on the sway bar.
I'll ck back later today then.
Thank You!

Okay, here's the measurements you need:

Sway bar rod is 7" long, threaded about 1.6" on one end and about .58" on the other end. It is a 3/8-16 thread on both ends.

The bushing bolts are about 1.3" long, and the threaded portion is 1". They are also 3/8-16 threads.

Hope that helps!
