I changed out my bar links the other day after noticing that they were shot. While under the truck i noticed that the bushings for the bar itself needed to be changed. The only problem, is that according to auto zone there are multiple diameters. Does anyone know how to find out which diameter my truck has? I have a 98 4.6 with 4x4. I tried searching but didnt get anything. Thanks in advance for the help.

 

Harbor Freight. Get a caliper, a decent one should cost under $18. My bushings are gone on my sway bar, just thought about removing it an getting stiffer front coils. 4WD systems flew better without swaybars. That's why a bunch of mild Jeep lifts have a sway bar disconnect option. Certainly helps with traction when on uneven ground, but can get hairy in the twisties.

 

Well considering I take my truck off road maybe once every 2 or three months, Im not going to get rid of it any time soon. I enjoy my handling. The links made a pretty big difference in the handling and Im hoping that changing the bushings for the bar will help the handling even more. I also know that I could go get a caliper and measure it, but that would have defeated the purpose of me posting on here. From my experience with cars and trucks, there is nothing that I can do that someone else hasnt already done. This means someone out there probably knows the answer to the bar size question. So hopefully someone else around here will know.
