Location: Lower Mainland BC | Just curious. I'm not even sure of the PNs, e.g. 1126 291 for the middle two or ?? Even so, will after market urethane work if I figure out the bar diameter?
The photo below is courtesy for Ralf N. in Finland. Not sure if the sway bar and bracket colours are correct or not. Anybody know?

Location: So. Cal | The original diameter is 3/4". You can adapt a 56 Chrysler bar to it like I did. It is a little longer, but you can make it work out OK. The Chrysler bar is 7/8" and offers a nice improvement to your handling so I recommend swapping it out. As far as the original colors, I don't think it really matters. After driving it for 2 years, it will be covered in dirt and grease. But black or unpainted is a good guess as to how it was originally. If you want the color to stay on there longer, then you should get it powder coated. |

I guess I need to check what the diameter bar is on my "D500 Lite" car (315 hemi and 12" x 2.5" Chrysler brakes but 5 leaf rear spring suspension) really is.
Just now found this supposedly NOS 55-56 Plymouth/Dodge 6 cyl or 8 cyl sway bar (PN 1630 185 ) = probably the 3/4" bar on eBay and it looks pretty much everything black:
