thank you

 

Is it not 15mm???

 

That is what I am trying to figure out. Can someone please clarify???
I'm stuck here, what width is the rear sway bar??

 

I looked at my 96 camry, and the sway bar appeared to have some kind of plastic coating which was torn off around the bushing. so maybe it uses 17mm with the plasticoating, and 15/16mm without the coating.

No, I highly doubt that.
But i need an answer please guys.

 

I have a 1994 camry LE, with the I4. Its a coupe. How do I know what diameter the rear sway bar is, because I need to replace the bushings and they offer a 15/16mm, and a 17mm. Thanks, any advice appreciated.

Is it me??? But why not just get a small metric ruler and measure the diameter of the rsb? The rsb is easily accessible without jacking up the car....at least for a small person.

 

Jobee here is the best thing to do.

Go to Toyota Parts and ask for a RSB bushing and look at the side of it. It will say 15. I swear that is the size because I just looked at one last week.

The 92-96 4CYL has the same diameter of 15mm

part number 48818-33031

 

The Spec Sticky says this:
17mm Rear (0.67") for the 4cyl or SE models
15mm Rear (0.59") for the other V6 models

24mm Front (0.94") for the 4cyl models
23mm Front (0.90") for the 6cyl models

these numbers apply to the 3rd Gen, and i believe sizes changed for the 4th Gen

the Gen 3 Parts List says this:
Sport Package: #48812-33070
4 Cyl Standard: #48812-33030
V6 Standard: #48812-33020

 

so i still don't know what to think. Has anyone replaced theirs????? The sticky says 17mm, i may go with that then..

 

go to this link

http://camrystuff.com/manuals/Gen3/General/gen3_part_list.pdf

The part number for the bushing is on Page #950 upper right hand corner
4CYL p/n: 48818-33031
V6 p/n: 48818-33011

Everything about the GEN3 rear suspension is on that page

Check for yourself!!!!


Venom: he is asking for the bushing, the p/n u gave is for the actual rear sway bar!!!

 

Stock & my whiteline. Whiteline is 18mm vs. 17mm Stock...

 

i gave the sway bar part on purpose, because with the part # he can determine the diameter

 

I've done this upgrade on my 1996 4cyl(look at the pics). The stock RSB diameter is 17mm. get 17mm bushings and you'll be good.

 

Is that tough to install uibalnme (The Whiteline RSB)?

What benefits does it have over the stock one? (it looks exactly the same)

 

Hmm how come I4 and SE are in the same category as in the sway bar thickness 17mm vs V6 of 15mm??

 

My guess is that Toyota did that to keep the I4 and V6 handling characteristics similar. I4(lighter car) = stiff sway bars + soft springs, V6(heavier car) = stiff springs + soft sway bars. I don't know, that's just my guess.

 

Ok, thanks guys and I'm sorry for the confusion. Ill order the bushings for a 17mm rsb.

 

Got the bushings last night from toyota dealership. It was 17mm, and was kind of a biotch to replace. The car is pretty rust free except for the bolt on the car basically. With such small bolt used on the sway bar brackets, the heads just broke right off, even with penetrating oil sitting on them for half an hour. I had to drill and retap the mounts, and used locktight on the new bolt I installed. But it was worth it, because a lot smoother ride, and no noise in the back. Thank you for the info guys.

 

what sz are the trd rsb? i just bought one (slighly used) and need a new bushing. any recommendation?

 

It is strange. I installed Whiteline RBS this weekend and the size is 20mm. If stock is 17mm, then it is a huge difference.


Here is the link. It is clearly written that it is 20mm.
