Sure, no problem. Tomorrow I'll give them a call. In general they tend to be a lazy ones, but crossing my fingers I'll convince them to get the measurements. I'll send You a PM on that.

Westy, If your are using Google set up the translator and it will translate the Polish!!

PS. When I bought my Blazer in the UK in 2000 I had a buddy who worked for Vauxhall (UK GM brand) and he advised me that the anti roll bars had been 'beefed up' for the UK market. American vehicles had a reputation for having 'soft' suspension.
My Blazer has been a 'daily' user since I bought it. Moved to France in 2006 and spent time finding parts suppliers. Ended up buying from UK and US. Found local garage who would do most basic things until this year when my transfer box 'trashed. Spent the Summer replacing the box and renewing the rear brake pipes from the front. Best vehicle I have had and I've had a few. Hopefully back on the road in next few weeks

Subject still open. The offerer couldn't find the sway bar on his yard. Probably they couldn't find buyer for over a weeks so they got it scrapped. And forgot to remove the offer.

Westy - have you checked the breakers yards in UK? I have just trawled the internet but without a UK post code it is difficult. Most are now linked to each other and according to the site I logged onto there are a number of anti roll bars available, BUT they need details to be able to quote prices etc. I bought my replacement transfer box from a specialist breakers and they were very helpful. Certainly worth trying.

I have welded up many of the other design over the years due to the ears snapping off.
