Has anyone used these sway bar bushings: http://www.gt4-racing.eu/index.php/toyota-...r-anti-roll-bar

Do you have to jack up the car to replace the rear sway bar bushings?

If you can reuse the brackets on the rear...one side is longer than the other and itll,make it easier. Not saying you cant use the ones that come with them. I had a hard time getting bolts to thread in, then again it coulda just been me. |

I just put in the 16mm on the rear, with the bracket that came from energy suspension.
Didn't have a problem getting the bolts to thread in. But I did break a bolt removing the driver side, so its still only half done lol -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |

I wasn't able to finish installing them yet.
I broke a bolt on the stock bracket. the head broke off so i have to get it drilled out. Sway bar is currently just unhooked from endlinks, but ll report back when its all complete. -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |

PROPER SIZES for a GT (ST204): 20mm front, 17mm rear.
16mm rear will fit, but it's not the right bushing. I believe the 16mm rear bar is on the ST (AT200). -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold

16 it is for me then (AT200), thank you Syaoran... hopefully this will get rid of the dead strut sound I'm getting after I just replaced my struts and springs!

You could always measure with something like a Crescent Wrench next to where the bushing is, if you don't have a caliper to measure. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold

QUOTE (RabidTRD @ Nov 22, 2012 - 2:55 PM) I own a ST204 and have 16mm rear bars. What year is yours? Mine only fit a 17mm wrench right next to the bushing, and I have a '94. Everyone who's put in poly sway bar bushings that has used 16mm bushings has said that there's a slight gap after tightening, which indicates that the bushing is too small. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold
