Does anyone know the diameters of the C7 Z06 OE sway bars?

I installed some that I got from Trunk Monkey Parts but I’m not sure they are the correct sizes. The front is 29 millimeters and the rear is 31 millimeters.

What part numbers were on the packaging? Z06 bars are the same as Z51 w/MRC bars; only the bushing durometers differ.

Not sure, I don’t have that info here at work with me now. I did call Trunk Monkey Parts and they verified that the part numbers they sent me were the correct part number for Z06 sway bars. But they couldn’t tell me what the diameters should be. The reason I ask is because the aftermarket sway bar sets I have seen come with the rear sway bar being smaller than the front. The OE Z06 sway bars are the opposite, front 29 millimeter and rear 31. I thought they might have sent me one wrong sway bar.

Diameter means very little when comparing apples to oranges. Solid? Tubular? Wall thickness? Bushing thickness? Bushing durometer? Etc.

This old thread of mine may help:

It does appear they sent you the correct bars. What model is your car and which bushings are you going to use? I have a ton of info on the various OEM bushings somewhere, I just need to find it.

Here’s the parts list. From what Info I’m seeing, these are the sway bars that come on all C7 with mag ride. Which is all of them with the exception of the base model.

Originally, mag ride was an option on top of the Z51 package.
