[DeTomaso] sway bar bushings

[JDeRyke at aol.com]

My micrometer says the stock front bar was 0.820" or about 13/16" dia while 
the stock non-GTS rear bar was 0.785" or 25/32". A desirable rear GTS bar 
was 0.890" or slightly larger than 7/8"dia. Take an old   bushing to a parts 
store such as NAPA- most GM and Ford cars and trucks used rubber bushings. 
The sizes are not critical as long as the new bushing isn't sloppy-loose. 
When our '72 L was new-to-us, I bought swaybar bushings across the counter from 
a Ford dealer- for an F-100 pickup truck. Consider using urethane in the 
middle with rubber or sphere-balls on the ends. Urethane on the ends is not 
flexible enough and may cause cracking of the steel mounts. Good luck -J
