What is the diameter of the front sway bar on a 1992 Buick Regal Custom Coupe with the 3800 and Dynaride suspension?

Don't quote me but I think you got the 34mm hollow bar.

i don't know what the car has, but it is likely not the 34mm hollow bar, IIRC only dohc cars and some later b4u grand prix did.

you have to measure it.

 

 

 

How far could it possibly be? The 1.25" ES poly bushings fit very snugly.

I'm gonna guess the smallest (28 or 30mm, I can't remember)

 

I would have to agree. remember this is dynaride, the most cushiony suspension available. these things have horrible cornering abilities.

Yes, I also had dynaride suspension on my Regal before I started modding it, but it still uses 1.25" front ES bushings, which are closest to 34mm.

 

I think dynaride referred more to the height and softness of the springs than the thickness of its sway bar. Dynaride "equipped" regals have more ground clearance than some light pickup trucks.

Your Regal is also a '95, when GM used larger swaybars on base models (32mm at minimum) and soft-ride cars. GM liberally used the smallest swaybars (and in the case of the rears, no bar at all) on the early w-bodies .

agreed. my 95 base model rental fleet came with fe1 and the heaviest swaybars ever available on a 3.1. btw, it has FUX front springs.

damn, 95 regals get all the good stuff....

 

All except the L36 and OBD2, which came on the 96 regals and all 95 model Bonnevilles. Grr...
