The bushings are bad on my APR rear sway bar for my 2007 GTI.

I purchased the sway bar in 2011. Anyone know what size and where to buy new bushings ? Any other swaybar hardware I should replace ?

APR no longer sells the sway bar. APR says it was manufactured by Hotchkis. Possibly 27mm ?

Just measure it. Hotchkis has best bushings unique design. I bought them for my Eibach sways. Buy brackets and bushings from them.

Just borrow or buy a set of calipers to measure. Harbor Freight cheap.

Just call Hotchkis directly. That is where I got mine. Hotchkis made the APR swaybars so you shouldn't have any trouble get the bushings from them. 1-877-466-7655

this looks more like the Teflon mesh bushing H&R sway bar come with.

You are right, my mistake. It was so many years ago. I did use H&R bushings on my Eibach sways. However I do believe Hotchkiss did make the APR bars so it should be an easy call.
