2014 SE TRD rear sway bar installation problem

[NYC-SE]

On my 2014 it is pretty much invisible from behind.

Yep, the only part of the sway bar you can see is the rounded end-piece near where it is bolted onto the car - even when you are bending/squatting and trying to see it. You don't even really see the end-pieces if the sun isn't shining directly onto them. That bright red can really catch the sun though.

I really noticed the handling/performance difference with it on the car today during my commute. The car stays flat as a pancake on spirited turns or taking those curvy "40 mph speed limit" highway on/off ramps at higher speeds. I also didn't feel the wind pressure buffet the car like it used to when big-rigs passed right next to me at high speeds on the highway. It really is the best bang-for-the buck stability mod that you can make to a small, featherweight car like this.

EDIT: Woops sorry my bad, somehow I managed to overread that the nut ist cast into the dampers and thought the only problem was the length of the bolt.




Hey everyone,

as a German it's really hard to get any TRD parts, so I went to eBay and bought one of a seller from USA.

I'm driving a 2012 model with dampers, thanks to this thread I knew that i had to get some extra bolts.

So I searched for them but I couldn't find any.

I waited for my package which arrived today, only 7 days from USA to Germany!


I'll install them asap and report how it went.


See ya!
