5th gen rear sway bar bushing

[SalsaRed]

Hi guys, I've been searching for the proper size for the rear sway bar bushings on a 2010 SR5, but can't seem to find it anywhere. All of the threads only mention the front bushings or are about older gens. Can anyone help me out? I'd go out and measure my sway bar, but my 4R is currently at the dealer getting a binding steering bar fixed and front diff issues looked into.

I'm thinking about switching to poly bushings, as I hear they improve the on road handling. I got a set of front discos from the GB and I can take the rear off if I'm going to be doing any serious off-roading.

Thanks for any help!

I had to buy a replacement bushing for the rear, but I just found the stock part on one of the Toyota parts websites. Look for the exploded diagram and you can see exactly what part number it is, since there's obviously different ones for non-KDSS models etc. As far as an aftermarket replacement, I haven't heard anything about a product like that, but I'd imagine it would have to be some sort of kit, because the current one is application specific and if you went with some sort of universal one you would potentially have to find longer bolts etc. I don't know if it would make much of a difference for all the extra trouble.

Haven't researched for the 5th gens, but I used Energy Suspension poly bushings on my 4th gen. I honestly didn't notice much difference. You'd probably see better results by getting some extended sway bar end links to align the sway bar properly since your truck is lifted.

Alright I guess I'll just go with some OEM ones from the dealer then.

As far as extended links, will that just keep them from wearing out faster? It seems that using the stock length ones would make the sway bar "stiffer" when running a lift. Which extended links do you recommend?
