Need info on sway bars
I just got a 2008 CX-9, GT FWD. Can someone tell me the diameter of the rear stabilizer bar? I need to get new bushings and links so I've been searching parts websites and I'm getting conflicting information. Apparently there are different sizes for FWD and AWD. Some sites have bushings labeled specifically for FWD or AWD, but other sites have them labeled as compatible with both FWD and AWD. What I'm seeing is two measurements, 0.61" and 0.69". I'm assuming that the smaller one is for the FWD but where the confusion comes in are with the ones that say that it fits both. Clearly the smaller bushings won't fit the bigger bar and vice versa. So, can someone help me out please? TIA

Your best option is to simply measure them or go to MAZDA .
Unfortunately aftermarket general application guides can be conflicting so unless you go directly to the manufacture's website(not the supplier/vendor ) and use their application guides you may end up with the wrong part your first time ordereing. . It also helps that you have handy your VIN.
Keep in mind that answers for this question on any forum may also not be the correct one.
measure or use OEM
