Sway Arm Bushings Size

I have the annoying thump/clunk sound and from reading the threads I was going to try changing the bushings on the sway arm, but cannot find the size to buy.

Anyone know the diameter to buy for the 2.4 LT?

If you are talking about the bushings that clamp to the sway bar underneath the car, they are 25mm.

Not necessarily 25mm!! Mine has the FE1 suspension, and is an early early 2006 - and the bushings are 23mm.

So, are you saying that I may have 23mm or 25mm on there?

How can I tell what I have so I can order them? Any brand you guys suggest or type?

Yes. Measure them. You can either go with the stock GM ones, or a lot of people have used the Energy Suspension brand available at most autoparts stores.
