My sway-bar measures 31.9mm in diameter with a digital caliper. I can't find 32mm bushings
without buying the whole kit; brackets, bolts, and bushings. All I can find are 26, 29, and 34mm
front sway-bar bushings.

It all worked out in the end anyway...

I found someone locally selling an SR Performance front and rear kit for $100.
ALL HARDWARE included!
SR Performance Mustang Adjustable Front & Rear Sway Bars 47848 (05-10 GT, V6)

I was looking for a rear, found one I would have had to drive 1.5 hours to pick up, with
no brackets or bolts for $60. So, now, I get a new front and rear adjustable kit, for $100.

So, $40.00 for a 23mm front bushing kit, and $30 or so for rear hardware? Well, $20.00
more and I get it all, new, and front adjustable. That also takes me to 35mm up front,
and 22mm solid bar in back.

Pays to wait...

I did not get all the hardware.... Boned again...

DO I need the rear Clip Studs (Part# 711368-S439), or can I use a rectangular washer
and bolts for the rear sway bar brackets? I got a universal bracket and bushing kit for it,
and the holes line up... Maybe just some big thick washers...

I also need two link bolts... I imagine I can go to Lowes and size up some
grade 5 or 8 bolts...

Been a while since I did mine and Ford has you by the short hairs when it comes to hardware. I sort of remember buying special nuts for the brackets and the upper link.

I got the part numbers, the link bolts are the same part# as the lower shock
mount bolts. I am more concerned with the Clip Studs. I have seen installs
with bolt, washers, and a nut on some videos. If I had a local bone yard that
had any GTs, I'd go pull the parts...

The nuts aren't the issue on the bracket, it's the Clip Studs. I can use
bolts, with large washers, or even a backing plate... I can make a plate
easy. I just did not want all this hassle for a 45 minute job... It will
get done, eventually... The front one, I have 35mm bushings, for the
brackets, so that should be an easy swap to the 35mm adjustable bar.
