I have several front sway bars from wagons I parted out. They measure 1 3/8" in diameter and are hollow. Are they the same as police front sway bars?

The bar I installed on my 84 TC, which came from an 86 P72 which had never been an in-service police car but did have a large rear bar and 140MPH speedo, was solid and 1-1/6".
I am not immediately aware of which bar is on the front of my wagon. -
1 1/8" solid for PI
1 3/16" hollow for the wagons
Equally as good in my opinion.
My 82 sedan actually came with the 1 1/8" solid. It was a regular grandma spec car. Not sure why it got the heavy bar. None in the back.1990 Country Squire - under restoration

what they said, functionally there isn't much difference. Most of the spring rate comes from the diameter, so being hollow doesn't affect it much. Lighter because racecar though?86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
