Default front sway bar bushings. 30mm vs 32mm does it even matter?

I've noticed on my car that when I turn the wheel lock to lock I get a squeaky sound, almost sounds like when you have new tires on a dealership floor, that type of squeaky sound. It's just when I initially turn the wheel, not all the way through the turn. I also only hear it when the car is at a stand still, like when I begin to back out of the drive way.

So I'm thinking it's the front sway bar bushings. My question is I see there's two different kinds. 32mm and 30mm? What's the difference? Is the 30 just stock replace? I think that's all I would need. Thinking of just picking up a set from ws6store.

For an SS, I'm quite sure you'll have 32mm front sways, and yes, it does matter! You'd have slop in your bushings if you got a 32mm instead of a 30mm....or not be able to mount your sway bar to your car if you got a 30mm instead of a 32mm.

Alright, makes clear sense guys, thanks for the explanation. I'll just get both since they are cheap in general. Obviously one of them will fit haha. Thanks again.
