Default 35mm sway bar?

I need a new front sway bar because the link hole is egg shaped on my 99.
I went to the junkyard this weekend and grabbed one off a 2002 blazer.

Got home...measured it for new bushings...

It is 35mm (34.9 with digital caliper)
so it is 1.375" \ 1 3/8" \ 35mm

problem is on Rockauto, the biggest sway bar on a blazer seems to be 33mm\1 5/16"

any one run in to this before?
any one know what bushing to frame to get?

Thanks!

I have seen multiple diameter listed for the same vehicle

check the year it came off of to see if they list different sizes , part numbers

Not sure if the strap mount is different or just the bushing

Thanks for the reply rexazz2


I have the straps and bushings from the junkyard one. Bushings are bulged and oil soaked.
I can't figure out were to get bushings for this sway bar though. I checked the year it came out of. Rockauto doesn't list bushings this big.
