Working out poly bush sizes for my car

[scotty]

Hi all,I was wondering if someone could help me,was just looking on powerflex website at the bushes and on the anti roll bar it said 20mm or 22mm,what measurements are they taking them from? And the rear leaf spring bushes,It said 60mm but when I go on superflex web site they say 40mm or 42mm for leaf springs :-/,it's hard work being me sometimes lol.

Any help would be much most great full

Get yourself a vernier caliper, and simply measure the thickness of the anti roll bar anywhere along its straight length, and measure the holes in the leaf spring for the bush size. Is it mk1 or mk2? Think they had different sized spring bushes iirc.

Hello mate,I did exactly that with the anti roll bar,it was 20mm so fort that was the right one but fort I would double check,it's a mk2 escort,the leaf springs are still on the motor,I've tried to measure while on there,the only 60mm I found was the spring size across,so the 40mm or 42mm is the inner diameter of the spring hole?

Could well be, although I know mk1 Escorts had narrower bushes so could be for a mk1?

I never knew you could buy different size bushes for the mk2 springs. Perhaps you would be better buying them from someone like Rally Design or Burtons, someone who specialises in Ford stuff, that way you can actually speak to someone who understands.
