Anyone know what size the front sway bar on an '88 HF is?


thanks

 

Are you sure they even have one?

 

yeah they do, just lazy to measure it right now

 

HF/STD didn't come with sway bars..DX came with front only and SI's had front and rears...Unless somebody has added them you dont have one or you dont have a HF....

 

HF's came with only the front,

 

i have a 88 HF, it has a front bar too. im also curious of the size...

 

pretty sure the HF did come with a sway bar, pretty sure it was a toothpick though.. i'd like to say 13mm off the top of my head, not sure though.. there is a post in the archives with the size, but i cant seem to find it

 

i think 13mm is way small, i wanna say 19mm or is that the SI's

OK a STD didn't even come with a sway bar and that is most comparable to the HF minus the MPFI....

 

19mm is way too big sounding i think. 13mm is more like it, have you ever looked at the tooth picks they call "sway bars"? so small

i think i am getting it confused with the Si's...

 

its about 2mm smaller than the si one. my 88 and 89 hf both came with sway bars.

 

an si one should be 18mm..

 

18 - 2= 16, so 16 mm then??

i'll check tomorrow and let you know

 

One of the best buys I ever got was a Caliper tool at the cheapy store for $.99. I use that bastard to measure all kinds of crap.

 

HF 17.2mm "G"


front. the letter is painted in the middle of the swaybar and embossed on the side of the bushing.

F = 19mm solid - all 4 door civics and wagon
G = 17.2mm hollow - CRX HF (Civic STD had no front swaybar)
H = 18mm solid - 3dr Civic/CRX DX, Si
K = 23mm hollow - DA integra

rear. the number is embossed on the side of the bushing. I believe they are all solid.

13.0mm = 3dr Civic Si
15.0mm = CRX Si
14.7mm = 3dr DA integra (doesnt fit EF perfectly, see explanation below)
15.9mm = 4dr DA integra (doesnt fit EF perfectly, see explanation below)
16.0mm = JDM SiR / EDM VTi CRX w/ B16 (uses a 15.9mm bushing)

 

Few questions;
Is G = 17.2mm hollow - CRX HF for the 1990 Hf as well?
Is there a picture available of this part (separate and installed)?
Any leads on finding one (assuming this is the part I am missing)?
Lug nuts let loose on a barn find and wheel separated from hub, lower driver's ball joint snapped while dragging, left drive shaft broke, and a hollow tube bent under the driver's side firewall
After replacing lower ball joint, car rolls and steers, Still need to replace the drive axle and whatever tube bent / broke.

 

Sway bar sizes are the same for each model for all years.

The HF has a 17.2mm hollow bar while the DX and SI have a solid 18mm bar. While the front sway bars are interchangeable, they are not the same spring rate. Unless you plan on racing the car, it likely won't matter much if you use a 18mm solid bar from a DX or SI.
