TRD rear sway bar brackets and bushings
I've had my car for almost 3 years now and a few years ago I picked up a rear sqay bar that I never got installed...
Now that I want to get it installed, I seem to have lost the brackets and bushings for it. Does anybody know where just the brackets and bushings can be purchased? |

If it's the TRD Rear Sway Bar it bolts directly on to the trailing arm, no brackets, no bushings

I thought it came with the c clamps for under the car since it comes with no sway bar from the factory

The Yaris has a torsion beam suspension so the sway bar isn't really a sway bar in the conventional sense but is instead a reinforcing spring for the torsion beam. It attaches to trailing arm part of torsion Beam. If this is the TRD Sway Bar for the Yaris (PTR11-52071), the installation instructions over at TRD Sparks where I got mine.

At least you can get the TRD Rear Sway bar ... I have had 2 dealers here in Canada say that it is NOT available in Canada. So .. sucks to be us.

...Until I gave them the part number from TRD Sparks (p/n PTR11-52071), and they said that they could get it, but it would be coming out of Vancouver and be big bucks. So that swayed me to get the UR instead. |

The Whiteline sway bar installs that way.

I wouldn't touch the Whiteline Sway Bar. For the sake of adjustability they are adding several points of potential failure. Rube Goldberg would be proud. It also is not a true swaybar either as a true swaybar attaches to the cars body and not the axle.
Either of the two different UR or the Trd Sway Bars should fit anyone's application. |

^ None of them are sway bars, to be correct about it. You make it sound like the UR or TRD ones are. They are not. All are torsion bars. For the sake of common language we use "sway bar" so more people will understand where it goes and (more or less) what it does.
Further, I haven't seen a Whiteline sway bar break. For any car, not just the Yaris. Doesn't mean it hasn't happened, of course. With that said, we offer both types of torsion/sway bar so each customer can choose what's right for them.

The Whiteline sway bar has only been out a year or two. More parts mean more points of failure. I have the TRD bar. I would have no issues with using the UR bars that you sell. I would not be comfortable with the Whiteline. Last edited by Sirius-XM; 10-22-2012 at 12:09 AM. |

The Whiteline looks much larger in diameter and its adjustability is a real advantage. The only reason I got the TRD was that it tucked up so neatly underneath the car.

^ I never realized the Trd bar fit differently than the ur. It sits way up into the crease in you torsion beam.

Torsion bar?
Quote:
Anyone old enough to remember the old VW Beetles (NOT the Macpherson strut equipped Super Beetles...thats a different story) knows what a true torsion bar suspension is, as they had it front and rear. You wont find a coil or leaf spring on the Beetle because they were suspended (suspensioned?) on true torsion bars. Springs which ran from side to side of the car within a tube, under "torque", or twisting tension, hence the word "torsion". I don' t believe Yaris has a torsion bar in the traditional sense of the word.

^ The coil springs are for up and down movemente. We are talking about the horizontal "spring" that we call a sway bar/torsion bar. Different movement. It doesn't come with the car, but the torsion/sway bar is what we are talking about. When the car goes into a corner, the bar resists being twisted, just like your spring example. This transfers weight.
The front bar on the Yaris IS a sway bar - independent suspension up front.

A sway bar is indeed a torsion spring, but the rear suspension on the Yaris isn't a torsion bar set-up, as Sirius-XM says it is. It isn't. The sway bar isnt "a reinforcing spring spring for the torsion beam", as he states. It's a torsion spring to be installed (in the case of the Yaris) on a coil-sprung solid type rear axle. Same net effect, but not acting on a torsion bar type of axle.
