TRD rear sway bar... - Toyota Yaris Forums

Sure. I'll let you know.

The bar only took about 20 minutes to install and is as close to an absolutely perfect fit as you can get. Fits onto the lower rear shock bolts, which are already long enough to accept the bar. Two other supplied bolts attach it to the trailing arm which has perfectly positioned holes.

I noticed something interesting about the bolts...
There is a flat washer under the head of the bolt and serrations stamped into the underside of the nut, so the bolts remove much easier by turning the bolt head rather than the nut. Same with installing. I just snugged them down by hand and turned the bolt heads with just one wrench because the serrated nut bites in and holds its position without needing to be held with a second wrench.
