hey guys, I want to get these but I will also replace my rear sway bar bushings as well. my problem is I went to Rock Auto to find out the size and they offer 16mm sway bar bushings and 20 mm bushings for the rear bar. does TRX4 have a thicker bar or something? I am going to get them from energy suspension..just want to know the size to order
edit: guess I could just go by this method if no one knows. it is probably 16 mm

- 1 - Wrench method. This is quite simple - just take a set of wrenches and see which one fits over the bar correctly. For example - if a 18mm wrench fits perfectly over your sway bar - then you have an 18mm sway bar! Not all of us are lucky enough to be able to us this method as there are at times mid-sizes like 23.5mm etc. See below if you fall into this category.
- 2 - Crescent Wrench Method. Just a little more complex than the wrench method. Simply tighten down your adjustable crescent wrench down over your sway bar. When it's tight - slip the wrench off and measure between the ends of the prongs. The distance between these is the size of your sway bar.

thanks for the input guys. I think it may be the 20mm then..I will check it out when I get the chance. I did order the front bushings though and will post some pics of those installed later in the week. I drive on the same roads and know all the little imperfections so it should be simple to determine whether these make a difference in the performance of the sway bar. my end links are OEM but still in one piece..if they need replacing I will upgrade to MOOG grease-able links
