rear sway bar bushings (1st gen)
 
Please help!
(1) Where can I get urethane bushings and end links for the rear bar?

(2) What is the diameter of the stock bar (1992 LX)?

Thanks for your help

You'll need to order 91-06 Ford Escort GT rear s/b bushings with end links. Price is around $25

Obender66,

Thanks for the info. Are you using these bushings? How's the fit? More importantly, how do they work?

Finally, does this mean the stock sway bar is 19mm (3/4')?

I had them on Escort GT. Fit is perfect, installation takes about 30 min, depending on rust.
I am not sure about stock bar size, car was totalled year ago :)
Improvement was small, more noticeable on wet road-I actually did 180 spin on the track. For that kind of money its highly recommended upgrade.
Even better-call Summit Racing and get Suspension Techniques rear sway bar for about $130-it already comes with endlinks and bushings and its a MUST if you are serious about handling. it takes same time to install as bushings alone.
if you gonna do it yourself-do not jack the car.
