It bolts underneath the car in the rear connecting the two perches of your torsion beam and runs along side that torsion beam. It bolts at the same location as the struts.

Got it, I didn't realize that beam twists and thought a sway bar should attach to the cab itself. Now where can I get a 23mm sway bar? My yaris is stock and I don't like how it rolls side to side on twisty roads.

You know I still don't get the difference. Is the rear not called a strut because its not a "coil over?" I've had a warranty claim with Megan and they call it a strut too.

Its not called a strut because shocks only handle movement absorption and struts handle that and load. So a strut acts as an upper control arm and a shock where as a shock is just a shock.

^ Rear sway bar is the best solution besides springs and other more involved mods.

This is the best product:

I happen to appreciate Yaris TTE JWRC comments and everyone else’s too. In the end we will have two opinions two view points and you have to make your educated decision on the results you think you will have or what you want to accomplish. Aside of the adrenalin going here, (which is 50% of why I have been viewing it) I seem to think this thread has not gone to shit yet. Now either I have calmed things down or stirred it up more... take your pick now... now without further ado "LETS GET IT ON"... ding,ding,ding!! lol
