They came with the bus when new. I don't know why but some of them snap. Probably working too hard. You need to have it.

Usually the aftermarket ones are a little bit bigger. I want to say about 7/8" in diameter.

Been here? http://www.ratwell.com/technical/SwayBars.html

G'day vw76westy,
on my 76 Micro it had a 16mm sway bay up front with nothing on the rear, I upgraded to a 22mm up front with a 20mm on the rear , both ends with nolathene bushes , together with KONI shocks a huge difference when cornering .

JR
