sway bar size

[zach7]

hey all Ive got a 2003 Lincoln ls v6 and i need to replace the sway bar bushings and end links but im unsure of the size of my sway bar. I took the digital calipers to it and seemed to get measurements of around 30mm. I just want to be certain. I don't want to order the wrong ones. I want this frigging noise gone it drives me nuts

I have had the same question. Here is the answer.

The BASE FRONT STABILIZER BAR, LS6, 29.5MM
The BASE STABILIZER BAR, LS8, 28MM
The SPORT FRONT STABILIZER BAR, LS6, 32MM
The SPORT FRONT STABILIZER BAR, LS8, 31MM
The BASE REAR STABILIZER BAR is 13 mm LS 6 and LS8
The SPORT REAR STABILIZER BAR is 18 mm LS6 and LS8

LLSOC past years ago. Also I have found the numbers to be correct. Early in my LS ownership I had the front sway bar replaced at the dealer under warranty because of clunking. They put the wrong sway bar on the car and I had noticeable under-steer. I have a V6 with sport suspension and they put a regular sway bar in. Took some convincing but with these numbers I was able to confirm it was the wrong sway bar and they replaced it again with the correct part.

V6s have bigger sway bars than V8s?
this is surprising.
