I just measured mine at lunchtime and its 20.4 mm

Would be the same as my one then, lots of stuff on the US Volvo sites on how fun they are to install.

Grinder, blowtorch and a sharp scraper.

My original ones were in very poor shape, and this was alot cheaper then an aftermarket bar.

Front bushes I used these, I did read somewhere that the 850s had 3 different sized front sway bars, so obvs measure before ordering.

And I used these little things to stop them from moving around

I've Just read a 3 page thread on this and with the lock as well to stop the sideways movement , interesting. As the og ones are vulcanised this lock seems a good idea ?

    Ok , anyone know what's around these days for a rear swaybar ? Think it's about time I change mine .

    I'm still interested in rear sway bar if Ash can get them made , happy with the front combinations performance but would like to improve rear of car leaning into corners.

    Ash what are your thoughts.

    I havent put much thought into this (until very recently) for a while as there just wasnt enough people who seemed interested (and I've been a little preoccupied), but I can look at it again and get some MOQs and pricing.
