Don't worry about the year of the turbo that you're pulling parts from. They should all have had the same sway bars '81-'85 during it's production run.

I'm assuming that your car is a Sedan. In that case, both the front and rear swaybars from a Turbo Sedan will be a direct and ballanced upgrade for your sedan (23 mm front, 21 mm rear). -however don't take a rear bar from a turbo-wagon and put it on your sedan (19 mm). The rear bar on a Turbo-wagon is already the same thickness as a non-turbo-sedan (19 mm)

If you have a 240 DL Wagon your stock rear sway bar is about (15 mm), the Rear bar from a Turbo Sedan (21 mm) may be a bit too stiff for you. A ballanced upgrade for a non-turbo wagon would be a front bar off of any 240 turbo (23 mm front), and then a rear sway bar from a regular non-turbo-sedan (19 mm). The rear sway bars on Turbo-Wagons and non-Turbo-Sedans are the same (19 mm).

Good luck and God bless.
Fitz Fitzgerald.
