Default Stock sway bar bushing size
Stupid question trying to replace my front sway bar bushings.
Rockauto has a couple sizes listed.

Anyone tell me what size the stock sway bar bushing would be on a 2000 xj.

26mm?
24mm?
16mm?

Thanks. Mike

I've heard mixed answers. Best bet is to measure.

Yep. One of the first 2. You MUST measure your sway bar. Use an adjustable wrench around the bar and measure the jaw opening....

You can do it while it's still attached. I'd think it'd be less hassle if you just remove it.
