How do I check what size sway bar bushings my 00' xj sport needs? I know i could measure, but is there an easier way?

Use a cresent wrench close it around your sway bar then measure the opening of the wrench.

was in between 25 and 28 with the wrench, so i went back to geometry and took a piece of string and went around the bar, measured the circumference to be 88mm and used the formula

C = (Pi)D to find the diameter.

88mm=(Pi)D
88mm/Pi = 28.01 = 28mm! i <3 geometry

Good then you have the 28mm swaybar. Are you getting rubber or poly bushings? Poly lasts longer.

poly, im going to order the ones from 4wd.com and use their 20%off coupon. They are $25 - $5 so $20 + ship. Are these good bushings?
