1986 SE V6 4-speed.
What size is my stock front sway bar?
I don't have the car handy to measure, and I want to order the bushings. Moog lists for the 86 Fiero a bushing for "13/16" and smaller bar" (K5242), as well as a bushing for a "7/8" and larger bar" (K3110).
I would have assumed the 7/8 was only the aftermarket upgrades, but found lots of conflicting info.

Moog is calling the larger bushing "22mm" and the smaller bushing "20mm."
At least one post on this site says the stock sway bar is 23mm. Obviously, that's the larger bushing.
If that's the case, why does Moog even have the smaller, 20mm bushing?

Does your car have WS6 or Y99?
That may affect things.

Yes, sir, I saw that. One person says the 84-87 front size is 23mm (with the 88 being 28mm and the 88 rear 22mm).
But, the fact Moog also offers the 20mm for our cars makes me take pause.

Hmmmm. Would that have been options for an 86 SE?

I am a visual guy. Here is my stock 87 front bar and aftermarket Fiero Store bar measurements:

Thanks, guys.
I guess all signs point to needing the 7/8 (22mm) bushings.
I can't find any instance where the smaller, 13/16 (20mm) would be applicable. But, I'd assume they do it for some reason.

My original 1985 WS6 front stabilizer bar was 23 mm but I picked up another bar in the JY that is 22 mm...I believe that one came off an 86 GT.....
Amazingly, I swapped them a couple of times and never noticed any difference....(I have the 88 rear subframe/suspension on my 85...plus some odd mods to make it handle better...)

The smaller bar may have been used on non-WS6 '84's only. I think I've heard some rumors about that.
