Default Which size sway bar bushing?

While looking at my ball joints that need to be replaced, my neighbor noticed that the sway bar bushing is not looking good and should be replaced too. When I went to the auto store to get all the parts, they asked me what size the bushings are. They had like 4 of them in the computer. I'm not sure what size mine are? Any input out there for this? Thanks!

yeah, take a dial caliper (or a tape measure) and just measure it.

i did the same, order the 28mm thinking that was standard (zr2 is 33mm) but got screwed out of my $3 when i had to go to Car Quest and get a set of 30MM bushings (hence the red bushing/blue link )

the point here is: Measure first

Easiest way I've found to measure them if you don't have a caliper (you should really buy one) is to take a crescent wrench, tighten it down on the sway bar, carefully pull it off without messing with the adjustment, and finally measure the gap between the inside jaws.
