Front sway bar bushings

[IvaTiger]

I have read many posts about the front sway bars on the Tiger and it seems many are 7/8 or 1 inch diameter ? My Tiger has its original sway bar that is 3/4 inch diameter and the bushings are old and perished. I bought a new set of bushings that are rubber and are not split to fit onto the bar. Is it best to cut the bushings in half or just cut on one side ? Any advice is appreciated along with information on the various diameters of the bars

grease up and slide-make sure on proper positioning- will save you time and headaches

Quite a bit of difference between the old and new. Thanks for the advice I can see now that they can be pushed on without splitting them
