Those with Ultra Racing RSB BEWARE

[BlackCamSe]

Ive had my 23MM rear sway bar installed in the car forever with no problems at all, untill now. Heard a loud bang while cornering followed by a series of small bangs when ever i go over bumps. Looked under the car and the plate that the bar bolts up to just gave and snapped right off. So now its just floping around smacking the undercarrage. Looks like the bar is just a little too much for the frame to handle. Will post pics up once i get it up in the air at work tomarro. Going to have to take the sway bar out and drive it without one untill i can bring it into the dealer with the factory bar sitting in my back seat. Wish me luck...this sounds like it may be expensive...

Wow. That's so bad.

You're an extremely spirited driver huh.

I was going to get the 23mm but might think about the 19, but I still have to stock SE one which is spaghetti noodles compared to the 23mm UR RSB.

Are just going to replace the bar and put back on the stock one or what's going to happen?

Oh hell my TRD bar snapped the mounting brackets too... i just replaced both sides and carried on my merry way

Mine made loud bangs and booms etc everytime hit a crack in the road... lol

I forgot how much it was to replace both sides..but it wasn't that expensive.

The 23mm rsb was probably too much for it to handle. Good thing I got the 19mm one. Good luck bro!

Im not talking about the brackets that the RSB comes with...im talking about where the brackets bolt up to on the frame of the car...I wish it were that easy. Gonna take a closer look at work tomarro.

That is what i am talking about as well. Mine snapped right off the frame... new ones had to be welded on and completely replaced. The swaybar mounting hardware etc was all intact still.

I know why though, because i beat the crap out of it on the track (not the street).

Where if i may ask did you get the new ones from? and how have the welds held up? Im just kinda nervous because this car is my only mode of transportation. Haha. And did you have the dealer do the work?

[GT-R]

Thanks for the heads up!

I knew the 23mm will be too much for our cars, sooner or later it'll create problem. We're not Corvettes and Porsches here.

[BlackCamSe]

Here's the colpret. Broke right at the welds. Looks like it bolts up to the frame so hopefully I can either get one fabed. Or find a replacement. Called Toyota from work and it doesn't look like that part is available by itself.

[BlackCamSe]

Found it at the Toyota dealer. Ordering left and right and throwing factory rsb in for now. Maybe I'll do the 19 down the road.

[Punks_Not_Dead5]

That is exactly what mine looked like. Yes i went to the dealer and they got the replacement parts and did the install for me.

It has held up just fine, i have gone on the track since with no problems.

[BlackG5]

that's ugly.


glad I never had that problem with my 23mm Whiteline RSB.. only had it on for maybe 20k miles but I was slammed and wasn't soft on it..

hope it works out for you!

How pricey are the replacments? I wonder how much the difference is from the 19mm to the 23mm. If the replacements are not expensive and the 23mm is a big upgrade from the 19mm then it might still be worth it. Maybe with a little fabbing to make it stronger.

[Punks_Not_Dead5]

I had both sides done at the sametime just to avoid the other side breaking late on down the road. Forget how much it was, but Canadian pricing would different anyway, everything up here is more expensive.
