914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Front sway bar size?

Posted by: Gearren May 2 2005, 05:52 PM

I am ordering bushings for my suspension and I don't know what size front sway bar busings to order? I have a 73 2.0.

Tell us about the rest of your suspension setup. What do you want to do with the car? Do you have a swaybar now?

the swaybar size should be stamped on the end of the bar if factory, or just measure the OD of it......use an open end wrench on the round portion of the bar...not too hard and you have a few choices on what will fit..........

It is the stock sway bar, and I don't know what size came stock?

The stock factory front sway bar on a '73 914 was 15mm.
The stock factory rear sway bar was 16mm.
