    1972 REAR SWAY BAR Help

    I need to replace my rear sway bar bushes and am confused, (seems to happen more and more these days)
    It is a factory fitted bar on my 72T.
    There appear to be both 15 and 16 mm rear bushes available and this is my issue. I assume the Diameter is the OD (outside diameter) of the bar itself but am flummoxed. Did the factory make and fit rear sway bars with only 1mm of OD difference??
    I understand that I need 4x bar bushes and 2x bar link to ball pin bushes but am seeking clarity on the Bar Bushes required.
    Many thanks in advance

    Mark,

    If it's a factory mounted rear sway bar it should be 15 mm ... it should take 4, 15 mm bushings...

    Thank you Chuck.
    COA states "Front and Rear Sway Bars" so I will roll with 15mm
