Rear sway bar bushing confusion

[preacher35]

So, I finally finished installing my Toytec Ultimate lift kit (special thanks to eb18t as well as montijo505 and macoyle). Now, I am trying to get the rear sway bar back on, but the ENERGY SUSPENSION 17mm sway bar bushings that TOYTEC sent me do not fit the diameter of the sway bar.

When I put my caliper on the bar, I'm getting 21mm:

I want to know if any of you have had the same problem? It sucks, cuz I'm going to have to put the old bushings back on, at least temporarily. Why does Toytec only carry 17mm?

Over the years there have been rear several sway bars installed. Ranging from 16-22mm. Companies like Toytec should know this and offer a variety of sizes and require the owner to check before ordering. Unfortunately you are stuck, so you can contact them and ask for an exchange or just return them and get a set off amazon in the right size.

Ditto same thing happened to me . Ordered 19mm from summit or energy susp.

Toytec Ultimate doesn't come with sway bar bushings.... had you ordered that separately?

Yes, I ordered the bushings separately from the kit. I figured I'd knock out the sway bar at the same time as the Ultimate installation. I was under the assumption, that because Toytec only carried the 17mm bushings for the 03'-09' T4R, that 17mm was what I had. My mistake. Oh, and they do NOT carry 21mm; at least their website does not list any. Odd thing is, even Autozone lists the 03'-09' T4R as having a 17mm sway bar. Well, back to the drawing board.
