Front sway bar

70 442, I’m replacing my front sway bar because mine is a bit pitted. I bought one from Fusick and it is 1-1/8”? I thought I’d try it out it its a little too thick and rubs idler arm. Does anyone sell the exact replacement?

These cars can accommodate 1.5" front bars. The problem is the length of the link used to connect the bar to the lower control arm. Some installations require the use of the F-body end links.
