my wife drives our new 2010sedan the most. On a recent tahoe camping trip fully loaded with 3 adults I notied the back end seems to " FISH TALE"

or " SLIDE" when cornering over 30 mph. I noticed also at freeway speeds that the power assist streering is VERYr touchy and front end wont stay centered. took it to Big O tires for allinment but no caster ajust to keep wheels centered .Hear A rear sway bay may solve boTh freeway " wandering issue" and rear end swish on sharp cornering.[COLOR="rgb(244, 164, 96)"] ANY BODY INSTALL A REAR SWAY BAR ON A 2010 SEDAN[/COLOR] AND DID IT HELP ALOT..SWAYBAR AND INSTALL COST ABOUT 300.00. ANYBODY KNOW ONLINE CHEAP DEALER BESIDES EBAY SELLERS FOR TRD BAR? THANKS JAY....

The rear bar should stableize the rear from being somewhat tail happy, just not sure it will help the steering wonder, as this is caused mostly by the Electric Power Steering system.

First check with Garm at Micro Image for a rear bar, that's where I bought mine, the Ultra Racing 23mm bar. If you have to have the TRD bar, then get with TRDSparks (Sparks Toyota) Myrtle Beach South Carolina, they have great prices on TRD parts.

You can do the installation yourself. Heck, it looks so simple I could probably do it, and I don't say that lightly.

And yes, http://shop.microimageonline.com/Whi...-xD-BTR86Z.htm Go there to get that one.

A rear anti-sway bar with work wonders to for highway stability. Should come from the factory with one.
Not sure about planting the back end though. Tends to plant the front end (reduce understeer) which is common among front wheel drives.

lowering springs would help greatly with that too and if you are using the stock tires that is a great place to upgrade soon. Understand that many folks don't want to lower, but the tires option is a good method to help with how abysmal the car acts from the factory along with the sway bar. I have a 19, not the 23 and even that makes a world of difference.
