S2 is 16mm IIRC

S1 is 12mm

Could be wrong!

just bought 2 rear anti-roll bar polyurethane bushes of fleabay for a £1.00 and they are 12mm, but it doesn't say escort rs turbo bushes just escort mk4, am i right in presuming they all have the same size anti-roll bar on the rear with the same size bushes??? cheeRS

Didnt think all mk4's had the rear anti-roll bars, thought it was just the RS's, I am wrong?

my base spec shell has no rear anti-roll bar as standard, and nor does my mates xr3i shell, so my assumption was it was RSturbo only

So if thats the case even though the ebay ad says mk4 escort rear anti-roll bar bushes they are for a series 2??? says they are 12mm does this sound right as i dont want to start taking things off and apart if they dont fit!!!!!! thanks in advance, jason

simplest solution before u take things apart and to settle any worries u have...

measure the diameter of the bar, and then measure the diameter of the internal bore of the bush? lol

or if u really have trouble measuring the diameter of said bar, consider measureing the cirmuference of the external edge, then divide that by 3.142. but thats if we really wana pick at straws lol

Series 1 and MK1 Orion Ghia were all 12mm.

MK2 Orion was also 12mm.

Cabriolet models were 12mm all the way through.

Series 2 was 16mm.

The retaining clamp is the same all the way through.
