I've having some trouble trying to figure out what bushings to get for my EX-P.

Moog lists only one option for a 1997 Limited... K80025. Says its for a 36mm bar only, leading me to believe there may be more options?

Are there other front sway bar widths? What other companys make these bushings? any recommendations?

Cheers...

I don't think there are. I didn't measure, but the "36mm" bushings I bought for my 97 worked fine.

The sway bar design changed in 98 though, to a solid bar, that was mounted differently.
 






@kevinspann...

i think you are right... I cant see there being multiple sway bars for the same year. I did read in part that there were certain bars that were mounted horizontal to the ground and others mounted vertical... but the years were not specified. also i did read that the bar was changed from tubular to a solid one, again the years were not specified.

I guess I'll order up the 36mm set from Moog unless someone has a better suggestionmore information...?
 






I used 35 mm on my 98 sport. They worked fine. Best thing to do is measure it with a caliper just to be sure.
 






went to the parts shop and measured with their caliper... it was digital and the reading was 36.41mm. I'm guessing the 36mm will do the trick. hope it helps out to tighten up the front end.

Getting the moog bushings installed on Monday morning... i'll keep you guys posted.
