poly bushings, but what size? I have a 02' WS6 with 42,XXX on the clock and after spending 4 days in my father's 02' T-bird with 7,XXX miles I now relize how sloppy my suspension feels. Upon further inspection most bushings are cracked or smashed and need replacement. I would like to swap out to prothane poly bushings, but I'm not sure what size MM front and rear sway bars I have.
Are the fronts 30MM or 32MM(1LE)?
Are the rear 19MM or 21MM(1LE)?
Here is the link to the parts I have been looking at. Thanks - Mike

32/19..... However I'm afraid that you will not solve your "sloppy" suspension feel. Poly bushings offer good deflection and will allow the swaybars to come into play faster. They help, but they will be a drop in the bucket for what you're trying to solve. First and foremost you need a well valved damper that will solve 90% of that "sloppy" feel. A large swaybar up front works wonders on stock spring rates, and you can forget about any remaining sloppiness (they'll even come with new bushings). And as long as you are using a good tire, you will have a tight, responsive and very controlable car that will feel great on the street.
