Same solution for the front? And a follow on question. What is the factory front sway bar diameter for an 88 GT? 1.1", 28 mm?

Oh, I forgot to mention this. I made a set of rear sway bar bushings, I used a set of Moog thermoplastic rubber sway bar bushings from a late model Cavalier with a 22 mm bar.
Not a direct replacement, but 5 minutes at the bench grinder was all it took to grind down the center to fit in the stock bracket, and trim a little off the bottom. The Cavalier bushing is a bit beefier, but it is large enough to shape it so that it has shoulders on either end to hold it in place like the stock bushings.
I'll try and remember to take the camera to the shop and get a pic.

Yes, 28mm is the size of the front swaybar for all 88 Fieros.
