how big is the front sway bar on a stock 240Z

[Zedyone_kenobi]

I am going to order a set of bushings for my car as my bushings are dry and basically old. But Black Dragon has them listed as 18mm and 20mm.

What size came stock on a 1971 240Z. I realize I could just go measure mine, but I am at work, and thought I would pick your brains.

I always thought it was 19mm so that kinda throws a wrench in your works. I don't have my stock one any more cause both cars have been swapped out for 25mm bars.

If I had to throw a guess out there, I'd say 20mm

Well, it was a 50/50 shot, and mine looked like a 20mm. But then again, When I me Leah, I told her that 5 inches was 6". LOLLOL

Hi

My 72 has a rear sway bar-- the original owner added it back in 1979. The front appears to be a 18mm or 19mm the rear--20mm. Is anyone running a larger rear bar?

Most Kits suggest a 1'' front bar with a smaller 7/8 rear bar. Might just be easier to upgrade to one of these....

Thanks

Typical set-up is 19mm in front and 17mm?? in the rear.

The weight of the front, with motor, works better with a larger bar in front. I have a 23mm in front and a 19mm in the rear, on my 240Z. My 260Z is getting a 25mm in front and a 19 in rear, toppled with KYB struts and Eibach Progressive rate lowering springs with Energy suspension Urethan everywhere.
