Sway bar
Hey guys I was wondering if you could tell if this is a 7/8 or 15/16 sway bar is there a more common one for 71 cutlass supreme I don’t know if I have F 41 suspension I think that’s the option anyway that squishy sway bar from the house steering pump leak will probably make the car drive like crap it definitely doesn’t help


Anyone know the most common size for the sway bar is it 7/8 or 15/16? Also is there a good way to measure it without the tool

Slip an open end wrench over it to see what size it is.

Or, use an adjustable wrench as a "caliper" and measure the opening, so you only have to go to the tool box once.

OK I do

Definitely not an inch definitely not 7/8 so I guess I ordered the correct ones I ordered 15/16
n’t have that size but I took my adjustable wrench and measured it and it’s 15/16 thanksOK I don’t have that size but I took my adjustable wrench and measured it and it’s 15/16 thanks

All 1971 Supreme convertibles got the same 31/32" front bar as the 442.

JOHNNYOLDS442

well the option was 15/16 or 7/8
not sure where you came up with 31/32

joe_padavano

Where I came up with 31/32 is the factory parts book and the inspector's guide.

Well they only offered 15/16 or 7/8 in my opinion 15/16 is close enough to 31/32 never heard of that before.
It maybe in that book,but that’s like manufacturer clearances

I've put used Trans Am 1 1/4" front bars on 3 A body cars and liked the handling and ride quality of all three. They also received used A body rear bars which none of them had stock.
