Default measurements for sway bar endlinks

Hey everyone, I haven't been on in a few weeks, and now i got my computer back so here I am. I was putting in a new radiator yesterday when I I noticed that all of the bushings for my swat bar are pretty much non-existent. I am unsure of the size end links I will need as I had to cut through them to get them off. I am guessing between 4 and 4.5 inches. I also need the sway bar bushings with the mounts. I think i need the bushings to be 1.25 inches. I would like to know the best urethane bushings to go with, as well as if I am off on my measurements for a 1988 Mustang GT. Thanks in advance!

Energy Suspension makes good bushing kits, i have a few on my car. their frame bushing and end-link kits are available from summit racing, as well as a lot of other suppliers. btw, the end-link length for stock-height cars is 6 1/8". you'll need to measure the front sway bar with a calipers to determine its diameter, unless someone else on here comes up with it.

If you get the ones for a stock bar, you'll get the right size.
