Front, correct? The exact size may not matter a whole lot. Assuming you've got the FE2 suspension, you'd want a 30 or 32 mm bushing. I've got a 32 on one side and a 30 on the other. At first look, they seem like they won't fit, but the bracket squishes the bushing into shape and I can see no discernable difference in the fit. But you may have to measure yours to actually know what you have.
