swar bar for two cars

Does any know where I can find out if a swar bar on a 93 sentra would fit a 91 corolla?

Call a sway bar manufacturer like Hotchkiss, Herb Adams, APC...

My guess is absolutely not. The chances that a Nissan bar would fit a Toyota are no better than one from a 64 chevy.

Well, both cars are early 90's. Both have the same size engine and body style. Same set up under the hood so I started wondering if the sway bar on one would fit the other, but maybe I'm wrong.

To a certain extent your thoughts a following the right track.
There are plenty of cars from different manufacturers where some parts can be inter-changed.
A ford 9 inch diff for example can be adapted to fit almost any live axle set up. Its not a bolt in swap, but it can be done.

Of course car design has come rather a long way since the 50s and 60s.

Now days there are so many different ways of designing a car, that all the manufacturers use very different designs for all their parts.
So inter changing them is almost impossible, even on simple things like sway bars.

You get a bar made for not much more than it costs to buy one.
