What is the tubing diameter on that brace?

Inside I am not 100% sure so I would ask Jim here

And it is installed ..
And on a side note as long as I was under there i upgraded my sway bar bushings to PowerFlex black race bushings from ModBargains (no pics of that as it is hard to see up under the car where the bushings are place on this car but not hard to swap them with a few 13mm sockets and wrenches)

Rod,
I need to ask.
ModBargains lists the front sway bar bushings for the FiST as 22mm, when in fact the FiST has a 19mm bar.
I want to know because I am using a non ST bar that is 22mm and I want to get the correct bushings.

You are correct Dave I will have to get under the car again and look at this...

Yup the caps did pull down very tight as the stock bushings have a plate on the bottom so maybe I got enough squeese to feel tight .. either way i will take them out and look into other options.. Packaging says Fiesta Mk 7 not 7.5 my bad .. lol
Thanks for the pointer

 

[D1JL]

You are welcome.
