That part number IS the bushing (20.9 mm) for a 20.7 mm bar.

Your car should have had 18.5 mm bar which uses 996.333.792.24 (18.7 mm) bushings.

I have a 2000 C2 and am looking to replace the stabilizer bar bushing? I believe I have the std bar

996 333 792 26. How can I confirm the thickness before buying part?

Loren, thanks! I just got home and borrowed a digital caliper from work and the measurement is 18.7mm, just like you said. I am going to replace the two in the rear. I got confused because a repair manual (Mitchell stated that the std bar uses 20.8mm.) didn't think it was right. Figured you would know. Greatly appreciate it. Also, is it true that the sport susp. has a thinner bar?

Do you recommend changing both, not just one? Is it difficult?

On your MY car the M030 uses the same bar. The larger bar (again for your MY) is for C4 since it is heavier.

I would change them both. Be carefull tightening - only 17 ft/lbs.

Loren,

Torque wrench cheap to get? Can I just buy a basic one? Do I need 1/2 or 3/8? Thanks!

3/8 should be fine. Sears has some good ones. I have one torque wrench I use on engine parts (a nice but expensive Proto Tools) and a cheaper one I use for wheels and body/suspension parts (Sears). Never drop a torque wrench - cheap or expensive.

For this project you could likely get by without one - just don't over tighten the bolts or they may snap off.

Loren, I just received the new bushings for the rear. What is the best way to install them on the stabilizer bar?
