    67 front sway bar question

    Can someone confirm the dimensions of the original washers holding the rubber bushings ? I seem to have 2 different sizes . Actually a photo and dimensions would be great. I'm talking of those on the links, not the actual attachment to the frame.
    THANKS

    There were a plethora of part numbers for these retainers over the years. However, the originals were 1.25" OD and 0.069" in material thickness (i.e. the thickness of the material they were stamped from). Later GM replacements were 1.40" OD and .107" material thickness.

    Below are photos of originals and later GM replacements.

    Thickness comparison between replacement and original

    By the way, I expect that, functionally, the replacements are superior to the originals. You don't think that GM went to a larger OD and thicker material because the original-spec retainers worked just as well, do you?
