4th Generation trd rsb advice

In the process of getting a trd rsb for gen4 camry I4, my car has been in florida his whole life so I don't think the bushings, endlinks etc are rusty. Just wondering what you guys recommend for grease etc for the bushings? Adam recommended teflon tape around the bar where the bushings will go and then around the bushings themselves. what you guys think?

thanks

edit: heres two pics of the bar im getting






what you guys think?

they actually make grease specifically for use on bushings, especially poly bushings. this prevents any squeaking.

Yeah, use teflon tape or lithium grease. I didn't at first and the squeaking drove me crazy.

ok frusturated as all get out. ok long story short i had to put the stock one back in because I couldn't get the brackets in. I took off the passenger side rear wheel but not the left but i got the rsb off and on no problem. My question is do I need to replace the brackets with like energy suspension ones? or will they still work with the stock brackets and I just need to take off the other wheel?

I hope you had both side jacked up when you did this
By this : "I took off the passenger side rear wheel but not the left but i got the rsb off and on no problem," it looks like you jacked up one side at a time and tried it.

I got mine from bigbird with the brackets, and it was my understanding that the stock Gen4 brackets are what is compatible with this bar

just found out something, assuming I did it right. I used the rear sway bar little measuring tool that i printed out on the 57th page of the energy performance products pdf listing and according to that the trd bar is 20mm

sorry about the fuzzy pics its not lined up perfectly but its really close

Any luck getting this installed? If not, I'll buy it off you!

Sorry i've just been looking for a TRD RSB for my camry for a LONG time with no luck. Where'd you land yours if you don't mind me asking?

yea i got it in, had a friend help hold it up while i algined the bracket it really was a pita and i think it was so difficult was because the bushings had already been compressed before so i had to recompress them to get them in but my friend said in like 6 months or after a little bit if i take it off again it should just screw right in.

i got it from one to hate he was selling it for another member.


Mileage on stock rsb/new rsb ( a baby i know) XD





OH ALMOST FORGOT: For anybody who reads this who had issues with rust etc, I prolly had the easiest install ever,minus actually putting the brackets in since i can't hold both sides of the bar up and screw it in at the same time. the endlinks loosened with a ratcheting box wrench without allen key and not a drop of pb blaster was used :P

if anybody else need to take off the rsb for any reason i figured out the best way to do it.
1. undo the rsb itself u can take the brackets off
2. undo the 2 nuts holdiing the second from the last hanger of the muffler, the muffler was held up just fine when i took those two off
3. undo the 3 8mm nuts holding the middle heat shield off ( the one between the cat and the muffler) and slide it off to one side like rotate it around the exhaust pipe
4. i took my bar out from the driver side so i took off the bracket and the bushing off the passenger side and was easily able to rotate the bar and push a little on the pipe and the bar comes straight out if i can ill take pics of the exact stuff
