Stock front sway bar diameter

Postby MonzaMikeV8 » Fri Feb 18, 2022 7:43 am

Hi,

I wanted to upgrade my stock front suspension (75 Monza) with the parts from Energy Suspension parts. Can anyone please let me know the diameter of the stock front sway bar, as the car is currently not with me I can't measure myself.

Thank you !

The factory size bar with a V8 was 1 1/8", according to my GM parts manual.

My 75 V8 Monza came with a 1 1/16" bar (1.06). I later upgraded to the 1 1/8".

Hi,

thanks for your answers ! That basically tells me that I would have to measure mine anyway, since both of yours were different...
Speaking of front sway bar bushings: Would you rather use non-greaesable or greaseable ?

Best regards,

I would definitely chooses greaseable if available. I am pretty confident the 75 V8 came with the 1 1/16" bar. Maybe the later V8's came with the 1 1/8".
