Have you changed out your sway bar bushings? I am wanting to change mine on my '59 Skyliner. I ordered a new kit from a very reputable source but the bolt I received in the kit is 3/8" x 8". They insist it is correct. However, my original bolt is 7/16" x 6 1/2" but I don't know if the size is OEM.

Appreciate someone measuring theirs and letting me know what the correct OEM dimensions are. Or...if you have a documented source that would be appreciated also.

I just measured my 59. The bolt is 3/8" x 6 1/2". Hope that helps.

Thank you Hallroger8817 and December 15,58 for your replies. December 15,58 your 3/8" diameter bolt (vs my 7/16") throws yet another measurement into the mix. Although...many kits have a 3/8" diameter bolt, mine is 7/16" or .438 (in decimals). That said... I would like some more inputs from those of you who may have OEM sizes on your sway bar bolt.
