Originally when I bought this 2nd hand 17 years ago it was an V8, had been stolen or some such and rebuilt into a turbo 6, been a great vehicle in the time I've owned it. I decided in my infinite wisdom to put a 30mm front sway bar on her but noticed the other day that the brackets that connect to the chassis are a wee bit bent. Can someone possibly tell me what the diamater would be of the factory original XR8 front sway bar as my local Ford dealer has no information. Regards, Bryan.

Bryan Anderson New Member 11 Member For: 3y 7m 7d Posted 28/12/23 10:01 PM Author Share Posted 28/12/23 10:01 PM Thank you very much for that, just one query, as mine is a ute, does it have a rear bar or were you referring to a sedan? Also do I go back to the 24mm on the front or go to a 27mm for just a little stiffness as opposed to the 30mm that's on there?

I was referring to a sedan You can go with whatever width you want, realistically.
