1 1/8" is police front bar.

My '87 police front bar is right about 1.100"/28mm, actually, so .025" under that measurement for what it matters (or doesn't).

I just measured 1.175"/30mm on my '87 wagon bar, so very close to the 1-3/16" (1.1875") nominal size. Couldn't find the '79 bar tonight, maybe I'll find it in the morning.

I found a 02 pi can I use the rear swaybar on my 88 tc

[1987cp]

Does it use endlinks?

I think can't really tell car sits almost on rails. I did find a 3/4" bar from a 89 ltd with 3,000 miles on it. I reall want a 1" bar but all the jy are 95 or newer with a few exceptions. Anyone have one for sale or close to where I live Galena, KS.

"tell car sits almost on rails", meaning what?

You'll recognize immediately if the bar uses endlinks because it'll have frame-mount-style bushings mounting it to the axle housing and, well, bushed endlinks connected to tabs on the frame. Box-body swaybars as you know, just bolt to the lower control arms. I ask about the endlinks because the bar that came with a '91 Town Car axle that's in my possession used an endlink system, and so is not a direct bolt-on for a Box.

If you're upgrading from no rear bar at all, I'd probably snag that 3/4" bar if it's cheap.

Frame rails is what I ment. And I got the bar free so no complants there I just wanted a bigger bar for the fear that one day they'll be gone and no longer avalible.

... as in to say that your vehicle is radically lowered? :confused:

There are options for aftermarket bars, though they're not near as cheap as a used stocker (and PST's is a pain to install).

[taylorendicott]

Yes... And by pts's you mean...

Not particularly popular, but it's the brand I have experience with. "G-Max" is their brand for aftermarket swaybars. Installation on my rear bar was screwy - it came with two heavy plates that bolt to the underside of the rear lower control arms, and the bar then bolts to the plates.
