Sway bar 92 Question!

Got a 92! The part number sticker on the swaybar reads - DB 1408. I need to replace my anti-sway bushings. Was wondering what this meant in English so I can buy a good set online, maybe the polyurethane. Finding the mm on the bar without the right tool is not easy, I took a tape around the diameter of the bar and its 3 and 5/8's pulling it pretty tight, my wife knows the deal on how to do that but she came up with different answers, does amyone else know? and what the part number sticker means? Many thanks! :smokin:

You can get a caliper guage pretty cheap these days and skip the mickey mouse geometry..

Front bars for the "H" body cars came in 28mm, 30mm (the most common), and 32mm.

Most Buicks are equiped from the factory with FE1 (soft ride) suspension, which is the softest of all H-Body suspensions.

Other H-Bodies like the Bonneville, can have FE2 (ride and handling), FE3 (sport), or the F41 (firm ride and handling) suspensions. These different suspensions have different spring stiffness and sway bar diameters. I'm told that the F41 and FE2 sway bars are the same, and I would assume that FE3 would also be the same as those. But the FE1 sway bars (front and rear) are smaller. (28 mm front)

Check the RPO codes. They can be found on a sticker either on the underside of your trunk lid, or the top of your spare tire cover. One of the above codes should be on there.
