trd rsb question

[adalex]

I have a trd bar and used permatex white lithium grease with teflon tape but it makes noises going over speed bumps. Should i add more grease? or use a different type/bran grease?

thanks

Did you replace the sway bar links?

This is an oxymoron. When upgrading to performance there are somethings you need to remember. To as power, rock hard suspension and bigger wheels you give up many things about the car. You will give up a turning radious. You will give up comfort that the camry is known to have. And finally you will give up quiet. What you are experiencing it normal for going over speed bumps too fast. if your suspension is moving a lot and your getting close to bottoming out the car and you are bottoming out the car, you are going too fast.

if your talking about the endlinks no, theres no rust on them or anything, with the exception of actually getting the bar up, it was prolly the easiest install ever, no rust, the endlink nuts came off without pb blaster and loosened without using allen key. the noise from ive seen on other forums that people are experiencing has to do with either not enough grease/ or the wrong kind of grease.

I understand what your saying, my car is lowered on tokico blue struts and h&r springs with a ultra racing top strut bar and now the trd rsb. I'm aware of the handling changes etc. A lot of people that have installed them have commented on how to install it with grease ie. grease, wrap in teflon tape, more grease, to prevent squeaking. When I first installed it there was no sound now theres a little bit of sound. I don't mind if its squeaking I was just looking for advice about maybe using a different type of grease or maybe taking off each side and putting a lot of grease so when i tighten it, the grease oozes out.

oh and I know this is prolly weird but I'm on stock wheels with hubcaps P195 70/R14.

The noise is typical since eventually the grease and teflon tape will wear off. There's not likely any "fix" for it but to reapply both. Mine is probably due to a reapplication.
