Ok, so I've bought a Cat D Peugeot 206. See the link my car and pictures
So I pretty much have to replace the whole of the suspension. One problem I have though, what size sway bar Do I need for my Peugeot 206 1.4 Verve?
On this Ebay advert sway bars It says please state whether you have an 18mm, 20mm or 22mm sway bar.
Can anybody help me? I don't know which size I need.
Many thanks

I have a 1.4 16v and have been told the GTI HDI anti roll bar will fit a 1.4 and it is uprated compared to the std. Obviously this does not answer your question. But worth thinking about putting a better one on as the job needs doing anyway??

Hi there. Yes, I'm considering upgrading the suspension as it's all coming out. These sway bars aren't exactly in plentiful supply are they? I can only see Euro car parts selling them and they're over 200 quid.
Definitely going to a breaker for this part!

Good idea. That is what I will do when I get round to it...

We don't or certainly didn't used to. I always think of "sway bar" as an American expression all mechanics I know still refer to them as "anti roll" bars.
