00 ES300 Front Sway bar size? 18mm or 19mm?
I've got a 2000 ES300 Platinum, looking to replace these swaybar bushings with Moog, unless people suggest a different brand?
I've used Energy suspension bushings in my family's 98 and 99 Camrys.
On Moog's site I'm seeing two sizes, 18mm and 19mm, I used the 18mm on the 99 Camry but unsure about the ES300.
Should I go with the 18mm bushing or 19mm bushing?
Thanks in advance!

You may need to measure. Mine was 17mm, measured directly myself on my 2001 ES
To the poster above it may seem there are typical sway bar sizes, but that is just particular to your experience. The actual stifness of the bar is determined not just by diameter but also the shape and the motion ratio of the attachment point to the suspension. The ES has a direct acting sway bar that links to the strut body. Because of that the sway bar can be smaller and lighter for the same stiffness. The 17mm or 18mm bar on this car can be the same stifness of a 24mm bar on another car. Size of a bar is only comparable between the same shape and design bar on the same car.
