Checking for bent anti-sway bar ?

["Mr. Daniel P. Grady" <dgrady@mail2.nai.net>]

I will soon be replacing a front track-control arm on my 87 5Kq non-turbo.
Because the arm has been damaged, ever so slightly bent, I would like to
make sure that the anti-sway bar is not damaged as well. I'm thinking the
easiest way would be to measure the distance between the ends of the bar
once it has been removed from the car. Does anyone know what distance should
be between the two ends? Is there a better way to check for damage?
Thanks.
