What exactly did you change? The strut -rod bushing is not associated with the typical "strut"

I have used the Roca bushings for the lower control arm and they are doing just fine. If I had to do it all over, I'd change everything I could all at once and be done with it. For example, if you are doing the strut rods you may as well do the LBJ, lower control arm bushing, tie-rod ends, ect. It all comes apart rather easily.

strongly recommend original Toyota bushings on any suspension and/or steering component where they are still available - aftermarket/poly/china is a bad plan unless there is no other choice

and no, the "strut bar" has nothing to do with the classic "strut" you are thinking of, except that they are both suspension components
