Default Think I need bigger rubbers

Measured my original 2002 ws6 front sway bar, its exactly 35mm. Not 32, 33 or 36 like all of the manufacturers on rockauto (moog) are selling. Whats the deal Whats the deal?

Did you buy the vehicle new from the dealer? Do you know whether the bar is hollow or solid and/or the weight? I can't find any information that a 4th gen F-body came from the factory with anything besides 30/19 or 32/19. Below are the part numbers of the 93-02 front antisway bars from the factory.

This old thread says the late FE4's had a 32mm front bar. If you know your current size and/or believe the FE4 came with a 35, what are you asking? Why Rockauto doesn't list a 35? Looking for bar accessories?

I would treat it as an aftermarket bar and check with online vendors for replacement parts. Or you could source the part numbers directly from Energy Suspension or Prothane and order through some place like Summit or Jegs.

maybe they changed them in 2002. I heard there was a difference in 01 and 02 cars but never knew the exact difference. My 2002 is all original and front bar is 35mm on the money. Its solid.
