Sway Bar bushing size? I need to replace both end links and bushings for the rear sway bar. How do I know what size bushings I need? The diamater of the sb is 1.25". Factory 10 bolt and sb. I will replace them with energy suspension.

19mm is the stock sway bar size, no way it is 1.25". Energy and Prothane sell a kit with rear bushings, brackets, and a complete end link kit. The front bar is 1.25" or 32mm and you can get bushings from energy or prothane that fit the stock brackets.

^ Generally, you take a Vernier caliper to measure the sway bar, but you can also use a 19mm (or whatever) open end wrench to verify the size. It should be a snug fit to slide it over the bar. Stock rear sway (WS6, SS) is 19mm, option from the factory (at ONE time at least) was 21mm (1le option) and the aftermarket makes bigger stuff. If you're stock, should be 19mm.

Trust me, your rear sway bar is not 1.25". The biggest rear sway bar available (aftermarket) is 25mm, about 1". Also, a tape measure is not the best way of measuring something round.
If you have stock bars they are 32mm front and 19mm rear.
If you have stock bars they are 32mm front and 19mm rear.
