They were that size since 1985 up until 1993. I don't know what they were after that.
Plus, I upgraded the front sway and rear bars on my '82GT with one from a '92GT and bought poly bushings so I know what size they are for a fact. My old size was 1.12 inches.(front)
I guarantee, that 1.3 inches is the aize you need...guarantee it.
