A Panel SS maybe?

 

parts yard glove box door?? for the FE 5 designation , but you measured the bar so it is a one inch sway bar so you will need a 1 inch bushing kit or 25 MM in Canada order one of the greaseable Energy Suspension kits listed above

 

I bought it with only 21,000 km on it,glove box does say fe5....but bar is 1 inch....strange,but thanks for the help. Will get the energy kit.

 

Hmm. If it's a LS as stated in your 1st post, it should have the FE1 code. Any way you can post up a picture of the glove box sticker? Maybe the car too?
Not claiming "foul" here, but if it has FE5 on the sticker as you say, it sounds like the glovebox door has been swapped out.
Easy way to tell is, the sticker has the VIN on it. See if it matches up to your cars actual VIN number.

Really would like to help straighten out this little mystery for you. I would hate to see you have issues later on. Either trying to find the correct parts or maybe even trying to sell the car later on, it could come back to haunt you if the VIN numbers don't match.

Any chance this is a salvage car?

 

Ok...remove foot from mouth!....checked the tag again....with a pair of readers on...57..old guy. FE1!!! Sorry firemangeorge,don't know what I was looking at. 1 inch bar...and vin matches. Knew this car was too clean to be a wreck. Thanks for your help!!

 

I'd do a double check on the measurement - I could have sworn mine was 1"/25mm even after trying some open end wrenches (not quite fit) and a beat up old crescent wrench. Turned out to be the 23mm bar - and man does 2mm make a big difference - no more clunking.

 

No problem Allen S. But, I will admit I was starting to doubt my own knowledge of these little cars.

I was actually thinking you North of the border folks had somehow gotten some non SS "special" edition panels.

Glad we were able to clear it up.

Ha ha...ya I have pairs all over the place too,Is a 1 inch for sure..used a good set of calipers...now just have to change them. Thanks all.

 

Good stuff. Let is know if you can, how it works out for you.
