Finally hopped on the sway bar bandwagon!

I'm wondering how the bar can be housed in the rear axle beam without causing clunking or some form of contact noise. I guess it's been designed in a way not to. One of the kits I looked at had bushings and U-clamps which attach to the beam. The other one I looked at - like yours - doesn't seem to have any secure attachment to the beam.

Your installation looks great. Awaiting the driving impressions.

It's a very clever design from TRD. Props to them. It just sits there under the beam and I heard no noise. It bolts to the shock mount as well as a second empty bolt hole that was already there.

Massive difference. Night and day. It doesn't feel floaty, it doesn't roll hardly at all and the front end doesn't push nearly as much as it used to. I even noticed in a parking lot as I intentionally went over an aggressive speed bump at an angle at like 7mph.

Thanks for the super clear photos of the install! will be super helpful if i (or others) decide to do this. Which brings me to a couple quick questions...

I'm not much of a performance guy, so i was curious about this - does it actually change the driving performance in any way (increase/decrease traction, for example)? or is it just for the feeling to the occupant (softer/harder bumps, car leaning more/less on corners)? i've never really had an issue with the feel of the ride in my '12 and i don't know anyone who has one with this mod that i could try.

Sorry for the delay on responses, I've been super busy.

The sway bar increases oversteer and keeps the car more flat in the corners. Less front end push, less body roll
