Default Sway Bar Bushing replacement

Its about that time I replace both front and rear swap bar bushing. Looking over the forum I see many people like the TRD and the energy.

Can someone provide me with the diameters for both the front and rear bars. From a google search it seems to be FRONT-28.5 REAR 14mm

Part numbers would be great for the TRD!

Are you looking to replace the sway bars with TRDs or just the bushings?

The front is 28.5 and the rear is 13.2. As for the TRD parts, I know they make bushings for their sway bar, not sure about the stock units.

Daizen makes a set of Poly bushings that should do the trick though.

Yes I actually found some on amazon prime for 12.00 for the set. I hope I got the correct rear ones though. I thought it said 14mm when I ordered for the rear. Did I get the wrong one??

This is from the Prothane website....

Just checked my invoice and these are the ones I have. They fit fine.

You'll get some grease with it. Grease them up really well when you install them. It'll avoid squeaking. (the grease is a real mess though, really thick and sticky)
