Sway bar bushing
Now call me stupid but I just want to make sure that i'm buying the right size bushing. I bought a used Z51 sway bars for 97-99 models which measures 25.4 mm front and 21.7 mm rear, I went to Eckler's fro Poly bushings and the closest I found are 26 mm front and 22 rear. Can I buy these bushings or do I just reuse the old ones. Thakns a bunch. also planning on getting metal end links.

I would guess that you could use them, but it is just a guess. You may have to increase the torque a little to compensate.
IF you reuse your old bushings, lubricate all surfaces of the bushing, including those that touch the frame and the bracket, not just the surface that touches the bar.

Those bushings will work. Recently replaced them on my 98 with a Z51 suspension. Might want to check out Corvette Central, metal end links were cheaper and they had all the parts. no backorders.
