Front sway bar diameter

Just bought a 99 Sport.

Used a dial caliper to measure the front sway bar, and I got 26mm.

Is this a standard size? It seems the only diameters Quadratec sells bushings for are 23, 24, 25, and 28. Is it actually a 25mm?

The bar is clean and I measured in a bunch of locations, but always get 26mm.
 
I just went to autozone and bought the 1" poly bushings. Work great. Snug Fit too.
 
Not a bad idea to use a little grease on the poly bushings before install

X2 to this.

I sprayed the swaybar and the bushing pretty liberally with white lithium grease when i changed mine.

I'd highly recommend white lithium grease for lubricating bushings.
I picked up a pair of the 1" (25.4mm) brackets from Autozone with the built-in zerk fittings.

On my previous XJs, even when I used grease before installing, they'd squeak. Hopefully the greaseable ones won't do that also.
