Mine was a 1 5/16" (36mm) bar and I think it was the stock one. The bushings I took off said "Ford Service Part."

i just did them on my 88', they were 1 5/16". Watch out for the piece of plastic that is molded over the nuts on each side that keeps the nuts from rotating. When i did mine 3 out of 4 of the nuts broke loose IN the plastic molding. I had to rip it off and hold the nut still on other side, it sucked.

That plastic crap broke on me too. I just used some new stainless bolts with lock washers.
