Default Which Front Sway Bar ???

Doing a Harmonic Balancer Job on a 2001 .
Was going to replace the front sway bar bushings while it's out.

The bar measures 29mm with my dial calipers...
But the parts stores only show 19,22, 26 MM..
GM Dealer shows part discontinued w/o any size description.

SO, It's a non Z06. Auto Trans. Low mileage (under 35K)

What would a 29mm be out of ?? Maybe a previous owner changed it?
It looks all original with even the Plastic End Links.
So Holler if you know what's up
And Where I might get new bushings for this (I'll just clean, lube, reinstall old one's if I can't find new)

Thank You !!
Is this NOT A stock bar ???
Just curious where the heck it came from OR if there is some weird option package..
Forgot to mention, it has a factory Power Steering Cooler Too..
My 2000 does NOT have a PS cooler

You have the Z51 front sway bar, it was 28.6" on the 2000-2004 models. As I recall it was the FE3 option.

FYI, all C5s have power steering coolers. Some have cooling fins and some (most) do not.
