Default Front Sway Bar-clunk

What diameter size bushings do I need to order for the sway bar on my 2003 XKR? I've got the "clunk" and it's time to get rid of it.

The bushing size will be dictated by the size of the sway bar. If your XKR came with the handling package upgrade you will likely have a larger sway bar up front and smaller in the back. BTW, while you are replacing the front sway bar bushings you may want to also do the backs. They are much easier to get to and not very $$.

I recently replaced mine and the genuine Jag parts from Marshall Jaguar in Ipswich were £9. On EBay they were as much as £30!!!
Sometimes the OE stuff isn't as bad as you imagine.

if you want poly, theres a company over in the UK that makes purple ones (sorry can't remember the name, polyflex I think. ) , otherwise, if you want good rubber, get an OEM pair, literally it'll be less than $40 out the parts door. They are shaped a little different than 'universal' ones...get it trimmed wrong, and you'll ruin the whole bushing...trust me, i've tried it.
