I ordered the MOOG K5253 sway bar bushings and they are NOT right, my sway
bar is 1 1/16 ``. does anybody know the correct part number for rubber
bushings? Has my sway bar been upgraded?

Scott,

I do not know about the Moog bushings, but I recently installed polyurethane replacements for the sway bar.

Not commonly known but, there are at least 2 diameters of front anti sway
bar that were fitted on GMC coaches. I think that they were referred to by
the factory as standard vs. heavy duty. Or, early production vs. late
production.
There are some aftermarket bars out there that are larger still, as
well as the steering stabilizers.(that shock absorber looking thing mounted
horizontally on the front steering linkage).

You're welcome, Scott, glad to hear it.

I like the quote in your sig file and recently learned that the original quote was longer.

A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.

Changes the meaning a lot... and makes me happier about my life choices! 😉
