I have a '68 Mustang with a 1" sway bar. I just got a link kit with the poly bushings and I noticed that the new inner sleeve / spacer is about an inch longer than the spacer currently on the vehicle. The bolt in the new kit is also longer than what I have now. So do I use the new bushings with the new hardware, or do I use the new bushings with the old sleeve and bolt??

the only thing that is important is that the sway bar doesn't hit anything in it's travel. If it looks like it will clear with the longer bolts, try it. the worst that can happen is on a big bump you may hear it hit the frame. IF ti does, change it to the shorter bolt setup.
