Rear Sway Bar Q

[rolla_fxgt]

Anyone know the diameter of a standard rear sway bar in an Ae101 FxGT?

Reason i ask is mine has stuffed bushes & i need new ones, nolathane (sp) list 3 sizes, 15, 17, & 22mm & i wanted to find out without having to get under there with a measurer.
Much appreicated if anyone knows

well we list a 14mm and 16mm at work for them, im pretty sure they came out with 14/15/16 mm bars, best way is to check it im sure u can reach the swaybar by lying under the back with a set of verniers.

Non superstrut FXGT ae101 front is 25mm and rear is 16mm factory.

If your really want it to behave nicely then get some of these to go with the new bushes.

TRD front sway bar 28mm, 57% higher spring rate
TRD rear sway bar 19.1mm, 27% higher spring rate

non s/s
Rear 16mm
Front 25mm

s/s
18mm rear
24mm front

urathane bushes : rear bushes nolathane do, front bushes superpro do,
Whiteline do a 18mm rear bar that adjusts upto 22mm

I had issues with the swaybar fowling on the inner arches on my 101 fx, on the 22mm setting, so really its just 18-20mm =)

Cheers guys thanks for all your help, much appreciated!

I would buy a complete whiteline or trd bar setup but i've worn out a rear control arm & revhead tells me toyota haven't had to get one in before so i'm waiting for the cost of that, which i expect to be not cheap

[AceSniper]

why not grab one from a wreaker?

[rolla_fxgt]

I did last time for the rear trailing arm, this is the 2nd one i've worn out in 6 months

So trying buying new & then if it breaks again soon i can ask toyota nicely for a new free one that wont break

And for the sway bar nolathane bushes are pretty cheap anyway, execept front ones which they dont make because they're a strange shape apparently

[Mr Revhead]

sounds like you may have a deeper issue there

[AceSniper]

superpro make them for the front

[rolla_fxgt]

Any ideas what else i should look out for that may be causing this issue when i've got it up on the lift?
At that price dont really want to be replacing them every 6 months, its not so good for the saving s account balance

[Mr Revhead]

bent stuff....

look for things that are stressing that point.
its not a common thing for them
