e30 325i Front and Rear Sways - How Thick

[dinanm3atl]

I need to order replacement bushings. Want to just replace all of them.

1989 325i 2 door coupe

What size are my sway bars? Pelican shows like 4 sizes for bushings!!!

If memory serves, 20mm front, 12mm rear.

Thanks. That is what I am finding. Can anyone confirm this?

Plug in your VIN or year/month of your e30 to realoem.com ?

That is known wrong from time to time

It shows all model e30s have the same shifter picture and notes :)

The internet, in all it's truthiness, confirmed what I said, but I really didn't find any really reputable companies/personalities to confirm this. I am fairly confident this is correct, but when it doubt, get dirty and measure that sway bar, divide it by pi, and there you go.

hehehe yah I know. But I like to use my resources I have here at R3V :)

prolly used wrong search terms. That never works for me.

Let me try again

How about simply measuring the sway bars with a pair of calipers... Even if a PO swapped sways you can pick the right bushings.

Just measured my stock es bars at 18.5mm front, 12.5mm rear.

because it shows what options were available for all versions.
you only have to click on the picture to verify whether those parts were in your vin - part numbers will either be listed or stated that it was not available for your car.

just fyi

Is that the same for the 318is? I just used the p/n from realoem when I replaced the bushings on my front bar and they seemed fine.
