Measured the bar with caliper and converted over and get diffrent od's as well as measuring the actual bushing which varies in size due to shrinkage or bulging.Where to measure the bar and then use id or od to figuere size is the question.

If I recall, I had the same experience and just took it to the nearest OD available and bought those. They did fit perfectly.
