19 mm sway bar ordered from Garm, installed this weekend. Beautiful piece, perfect fit, easy install, the car handles much better!
Now I'm wondering if I should give up the hitch or the spare wheel and the jack to compensate for the added weight I'll probably try without the spare for a week and see if I feel any difference |

I'm a little confused about the rear sway bar. Granted I haven't done anything to my yaris or even looked at the suspension. But since the rear is a solid beam type and this just bolts to the two sides, wouldn't this be more of a "brace" than a real "sway bar"? Is the rear suspension beam that flexy?

No, it's not merely a brace. Technically it is a torsion bar.
Your beam axle does nothing to transfer weight in cornering -- that's why this bar is effective.

The 23mm Ultra Racing bar is noticably stiffer. I have to believe I'll see a difference at the AX.

also, bigger bar = stiffer ride? Can you even tell the difference (only 4 mm ?) I see everybody on the thread says "better handling" "great handling" and other types of positive adjectives but all I get is that they're happy, I still don't understand how the rear bar improves handling in straight lines, with cross-winds. Does it make the car feel like it "sticks" better to the rd or am I looking at the wrong mod? Thanks. I dread the winter coming, and crosswinds on the bridge Last edited by tomato; 10-15-2009 at 07:55 PM. |
