hey, I have a 1999 civic EX and im thinking about changing them cause I was tightening my exhast and I noticed the mounts were bad, so might as well replace the whole thing right? I don't know the size I need, I looked around online and some were saying 22mm? is that right? any brands recommended?

 

sway bars.... wow sorry

 

Leave it stock. Swap whatever bad bushings out that you find.

 

Why replace the entire bar and everything else when the bar doesnt go bad....its the bushings.

The bushings will say what mm they are most of the time on the side... Or you can measure the diameter of the bar with a caliper

 

well if im going to change the it anyways I might as well do it while im changing the bushings, instead of making a second trip down there. and then changing it or is it better to just leave the ones it came with in it?

 

dont go messing with things like sway bars when you don't know what affect different sizes will have on your handling

 

so change the bushings and leave it alone?

 

replacing the sway bar itself make NO sense unless you are upgrading to a BIGGER diameter bar.

It sounds like you are describing bad bushings and that means you need to replace the sway bar BUSHINGs, not the bar...replacing the bar is more work and it makes absolutely no sense unless it is bent or damaged in some way.

 

I think I said that almost verbatim.

 

here is what you need
