Sway Bar Bushings

jeepbme · Mar 16, 2005

If any of you have ever shopped for new sway bar bushings for your XJ, you know that there are many different sizes. 5 at autozone anyway.

Does anyone know the size or diameter or stand size diam for the 97+ models?

Had to get some from Napa recently for my 2000 classis. Mine were 26mm.
Tried Energy Suspension but they don't make them that size. The Napa ones are a cool blue color though...

See if you can measure your bar to be sure.

can't possibly measure the diameter with a tape measure..

A micrometer would work well if you have one and know how to read it. Even if it's in inches, just take the measurement you get and multiply by 25.4 (the number of millimeters in an inch) If yours are the 26mm's, you'd get like 1.0XX inches on a standard micrometer.

Just use open end wrenches and see which one fits over the bar, and which one doesn't. If you don't have metric wrenches that big, a 1" wrench will fit over a 24mm or 25mm bar and won't fit a 26mm bar.
