Default rear sway bar bushing question
My 76 T/A has the original 13/16" rear sway bar. However the actual diameter is .806-.809" depending where it's measured. The area where the bushing rides is slightly warn smooth and measures .790" What poly bushings do I get? 3/4" and open them up or are the 13/16" bushings okay.
Thx, Larry

I would use the 13/16" bushings. You may consider adding a bit more grease to help take up the small amount of tolerance that has built up over the years.

spring perch mount is .790. Hanger mount at clamp is actually .783-.790 ( somewhat egg shaped). The third is pretty good

If rubber I would go 3/4" and use lots of silicone lube.
