GU IV 4.2 tdi front sway bar
Bent my front sway bar on the weekend (apparently big logs are stronger than Patrol sway bars 
). I have spent some time searching the www but can't find suitable replacements (i.e. none for my model) anyone got any ideas where to look.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

I can't see anywhere where is says not suitable for diesels?? I can't imagine why it would fit? I am not aware of a GU running a number of different sway are depending on the engine? Give the supplier or specifically Whiteline a call and discuss. Whiteline is a premier brand and they will have something for you without a doubt.
Liftlid has Whiteline sway bars front and rear on his GQ I think.

This is their website link, says "Suits models with OEM sway bar & excl all GU 3 & Diesel models - non adjustable"
I might give them a call and see what they have to say.
