front roll bar size?

by vinny_69 » Fri Feb 19, 2010 5:28 pm

ok ive had a good look round and i can only find this but it's for a V6 viewtopic.php?f=18&t=40985&p=419953&hilit=roll+bar+front#p419953

as the cally is slowly getting worse at going round corners i will be replacing the shock's, springs, lower arms and droplinks
but what size are the front roll bar bushes for the 8 valve? im kinda guessing 22mm as my V6 was the same.

could be 18mm 20mm 22mm

got the right size for mine by reading the part number off them ...and yes they where still on the car at the time...just had it on ramps a torch and you could just make the number out, camera phone and an enlarged picture got the number and from that I got the right size

my guess - 18mm, but anyway - not more then 20mm.
higher number are for "grown ups" - v6, turbo.
IIRC - 24mm and 22mm were for turbos (pre and after 93), 22mm was for v6, those small ones weren't interesting for me.

my SE6 has a 22mm one as did the SE2 a C20XE, SE6 a 96 SE2 a 93


though I used the SE2's 22mm one on the se6 as it was originally 20mm

what you will find is all pre 94 calibra's use the 22mm anti roll bar link pendulum and post 94 cars get the newer drop link with the ball joint at the top :D

i dont have to i am a vauxhall trained partsman , all of the other sizes of pendulum are for the smaller engined cavaliers
Vinny mate buy the 22mm pendulum if it is the rubber pendulum you have on the car,if not you will have the ball joint type ,go have a look
