I need new anti roll bar bushes for my '82 944. The problem I'm having is choosing the correct size. The bushes come in a variety of sizes but I don't know how or what you measure. I have measured the bar and it's 12.5mm-13mm diameter, non of the bushes I've looked at are anywhere near this.....help.

You need to measure them as they came with different sizes depending what they had available at the factory. If they ran out you got a free upgrade! Mine has bigger roll bars than it should. Get underneath with a vernier. Do a search on this you will find plenty of posts. :)

Correct. Was :drunken: last night. Two bush sizes. Front supports & also ends. You will also need the bushes for the drop links probably. If the links arn't in good shape I'd do them at the same time as they crack & fail & you lose your new bushes! If you order them from JMG they will send you the right set & if anythings wrong swap them without issue. OPC don't do that. Early cars narrow track so only one roll bar. Simples :D

Is it the front or rear?

There are no options on the rear, only 14mm

Thanks for the help guys. I have removed the bar and measured it and if I've got the sizes right new ones should be here in a few days.
