Oem swaybar

I went in to install my new swaybar into my 04 mcs and noticed the installed swaybar has three adjustment holes...is the oem swaybar adjustable? I don't want to have had a moment and unnecessarily bought a new swaybar

No, the OEM is not adjustable. You have an aftermarket rear sway bar.

Better double check on any future mods, previous owner may have saved you the trouble.

So I finally climb under the car with a caliper. Measures 25mm. Is it safe to assume it is hollow or does anyone make a solid 25mm? I couldn't find a definite on google

Find it kina amusing you have a bar THAT big and thought you needed a bigger one!!
I THINK all bars that big are hollow...post a pic of the end so we can identify it.

I bought a bigger one originally having not checked under the car (silly mistake) so I thought I had an oem to start with when I purchased the bar I've since returned. I will post pics when I figure out how
