Hello all, i have a friend selling his front sway bar off his 87 Grand National. My question is, is it any different/bigger than my stock front sway bar on my 78 Malibu wagon? Thanks for the help.

GN's did get the F41 suspension package but I think the F41 was offered as an option on all G bodies so he may have it on his wagon. Then again a previous owner may have upgraded or downgraded....
It is in fact a 32mm, or 1 1/4" bar. Your wagon might have a 32mm bar if it has the F41 suspension package...very likely...but not definite.
How would one find out if i have the F41 suspension package? Its a 78 Malibu Classic that originally came with a 305 2bbl. I assume F41 is an RPO code?
Your wagon would have an 1 1/4" front sway bar, a 7/8' rear sway bar, inner fender braces, and probably jounce bars. I it doesn't, I do have these parts available..timo22
If you could find the build sheet for it, that would be one way. You could start by measuring the front bar with a vernier caliper, adjustable wrench. I believe the F41 package would have a rear swaybar as well. Cars equipped with a tow package would usually have the F41 package.
Try lifting up your rear seat. That's where I initially found mine. If it's not there, it could be above your headliner board.

Its not above the headliner board on my car, i took the headliner out yesterday and nothing. Might check under the rear seat. Ill have to also check later to see if i have a rear sway bar or not.
It for sure doesn't have inner fender braces. I might have to check under it tonight and see if it has jounce bars or not.
