thursday

Hey gang, I got a bit of a question/ concern about my sway bar. I installed it a little back and it is on the race setting. I followed the instructions and it took the place of the srock sway bar. I thought it was pretty easy, I mean it was only a couple of bolts.
Anyway, when I drive, it sounds like my car is bottoming out? Is that what it should sound like if I got it set to the race setting? Please, any information would help. Thanks gang! Best to all!

Recheck your endlinks, one or both may be loose

no, the front is hard, the back is easy.

2nd that

also, see if you tighten the endlink bolts and see if you put enough KY jelly on the bushings

the front sway not strut is hard. The rear is easy. the front strut bar is very easy but if you do one make sure you jack the car up when you put it on.

I installed mine, but I forgot about the replacement bushings and just put the stock ones back on. Also the end links look to be bowed in I dont know if its normal tho... a couple times i heard a little noise when I came over speed bumps? I have to check it to make sure nothing is loose. Does this all sound normal tho? I didnt lubricate the bushings when I put them back in? should the endlinks look straight? cuz they look crooked where they are bolted?

they should look striaght. No crookedness to them at all. The arent very beefy stock. You could get dezods or the camry ones are pretty beefy too.

well not crooked but they point inward, dont know if its normal or not. checked it out today and one of the bolts that holds the bushings in place fell off, so I gotta go to toyota tommorow and see if I can order another one or try to find one at ace hardware or something...

can any1 give me and others a small DIY on the install? or are the directions of the box more than enough to install it? i looked at my trunk n still have no idea were it goes lol

jiggadomino

hahaha dont look at your trunk man, look at the bottom of your car from under your car!


heres what ya do to prep:
1. raise your car up for the rear wheels using two car jacks
2. find the stock rear sway bar (its black)
3. follow the instructions and dont forget to tighten and put the ky jelly

exzess

yea i meant "under my trunk"...haha dat'd b lame if i really did hahahaha

exzess

btw were do i put da jelly and wat for. if its not a joke.

jiggadomino

haha no the jelly aint no joke man
the trd bar comes with something called bushing lubricant*
this is very important because he helps prevent the squeaking of your rear sway bar

anyways, follow the directions and put the lube on the area where the black bushings (rubber round things) meet the sway bar
(dont skimp on the lube or you will pay for it later)
