Strut Bar and Sway Bar are 2 different things ...

Strut Bar [aka: Strut Tower Brace] is the thing that goes under your hood and ties the top of the struts together ... Sway Bar [aka: Stabilizer Bar] goes under the car and ties the two sides together

lemme know which kind you want, and ill let you know which brands are the best quality and where u can purchase one

either way, ebay is not the correct place

a Strut Bar ties the tops of the two struts together, so basically if one moves, the other should move too

a Sway bar ties the lower half of two struts together ... same purpose, different function

sway bar > strut bar at reducing body roll and improving handling ... BUT a strut bar is $30 whereas a sway bar is $150+

you can get a TRD Swaybar from resident members here ... PM eyeball96 to ask where he got his .... you can get a Whiteline Sway Bar from Raptorracing on this website, but hurry cuz i think the price is going up soon

Ok, so back to my original question.

Where can I find a Sway Bar? I've tried googling it before, and all that comes up is "sway bar bushings", etc.

And for that matter, what does a strut bar do anyways?

eamil raptor racing. hers a vendor here on tn

Whiteline isnt as good as the TRD, but its like $25 cheaper

i say, if youre gonna get one ... get the TRD and put it on the Track setting ... its worth it, just ask eyeball96 and his wife :p:

its made for the Gen4 Camry and Gen 1 Solara ... which share a similar [or identical] chassis to the Gen 3 Camry

so it fits perfectly fine on our car ... the TRD Part # is PTR06-06990-10
