Default How to ID ITR Sway Bar 22mm vs 23mm

I just got a sway bar and the guy told me it was 23mm but im not sure if it is. It has green markings. Do you guys know how to differentiate both sway bars? Thanks!

Take a set of calipers to it and measure it. It is the only way to be positively sure.

22 mm open ended wrench...if it fits it's 22, if it's too small 23mm...

Jesus...does everyone forget high school math class?

But the crescent wrench trick is the obvious choice here.

LOL, unless you can divide pi in your head (and don't have a calculator), I would stick with the wrench trick too.

If he posted from any computer with an O/S made anytime in the last 15 years, then I think he probably has access to a calculator

The 23 RSB fits in the 22 bushings, So don't go by that.
