I just had this performed on my car on last week. It fixed a clunking and squeaking noise that I had when the rear tires went over speed bumps.

have you had any issues since. My RSB is squeaking too. I cannot remember if it is the same diameter as the stock ones. I am contemplating if I should buy the new oem bushings (if they fit the ur rsb) or a greasable aftermarket poly.

If it's black then it's factory. If it's white then it one of the UR's. If you have the stock RSB then get the stock bushings. I don't think anyone makes aftermarket poly bushings for the factory RSB. If it is one of the UR RSB's then grease them up before you decide to order replacement bushings. I'm sure UR's are poly. If they are then they are going to squeak if they're not greased.

My UR RSB came with a black toyota OEM bushing (mbarton). I just finished regreasing them and my noise is 90% gone. OEM are too small for my 19mm rsb (oem is 16 mm).

The TSB on RSB is just a coincidence for people like us. It might be due to the geometry of the rear suspension. Anyways I noticed that the paint on my rear saw bar had eroded off under the bushing causing any uneven surface (the powder coating is very thicK). So I will have to sand and paint that if I buy a greasable poly.
