I am doing some basic maintenance on my 1959 and 1964 98s.

I was repacking the front bearings( and they looked great) and decided to replace some suspension rubber parts on these cars.

Well I got the correct stabilizer bar links and those went in well, then I went to the stabilizer bar bushings and both listings had bushings with an inside diameter of .75" and .77".

Well they are too small and everyone list those sizes for the 1959 and 1964. I took out my calipers and got 7/8" bar on the 1959 and a 1 1/16" on the 1964!

Also where can I get the correct sizes? Not Fusick they have got the small ones too.

I went through this same problem on my 1967 Delta. There's nothing magic about the bushings. I went through the RockAuto listings until I found bushings for the diameter sway bar that I needed. Turns out that the 1971 Delta bushings were the correct size. If you want to slightly increase the effective stiffness of the bar, go with aftermarket polyurethane bushings. Deflections in the stock rubber bushings will negate some of the effect of the bar.

Thanks again Joe.

That's what I am doing looking for the bushings with the correct inner diameter, but amazing the guides online are all wrong.

Also if you know, where are the upper control arm bumpers located? Fusick sells them but for the life of me I cannot find them!

I bought the rock auto ones for a F85. 1” fits the 98. Got the wrong ones first as well.
