98 GC Ltd 5.9 Sway Bar Specs
 

What is the sway bar diameter on this vehicle?

The dealer wants way too much for the chshions but the aftermarket guys
can't seem to tell me what size bar I have.

Thanks in advance.

Bob

Wrap a bit of string around the bar, mark where it crosses, then
hold it against a ruler.

4wheel parts has good information and has been a source for
me on those things.

Some reading. (4.0, but similar in aproach)

I use them quite a bit. Just got motor mount from them at
about 20$ less each than the local dealer.

Hi Bob,
Every car's sway bar is built especially for that application,
whether you intend to pull a trailer, or to compensate for the
differences in weight between a V8 and six, that's why the part's man
had to ask. So find something like a crescent, clamp, or anything
that'll a distance long enough to measure:

Then divide by Pie roughly (3.1428) or (22/7).
