Looks like it but the seller doesn't have the best rating.

 

Hell ya. With 7% off, it came to $225 CAD taxes in.

 

It shipped pretty quickly this is the ebay one. For some reason I thought it would be bigger. Its kind of a little bit of a pinkish red but i dont care gonna spray it with black woolwax.

 

What good would a rear sway bar do if you dont tow anything? No off roads, mainly highway and surface/city streets.

 

Less sway around corners, turns, off ramps and such. A few twisty roads around here the body roll is pretty bad. Hoping it helps.

I forgot to grab grease all I can seem to find is use silicone. I got a few tubes of this green permatex. Should be okay right?

Mine looked pinkish as well especially under fluorescent light. I painted mine black and still working fine for the last year.

 

I wouldn’t use silicone brake grease. It’s pretty thick especially at cold temperatures and may tear damage the bushing. I used this and I think I bought it at Canadian Tire.

 

well poop guess ill go grab that super lube. thanks! Cant seem to find it on there website. Looks like only Amazon. Would like it today though haha

how about this one?

That one would work. I’ve used that before and it won’t thicken with cold temperatures.

 

Need super-expensive PTFE grease for these bushings, like

Got it done. Doinked around for 20mins before I realized it was upside down lol. You could maybe put it upside down if you forced it. I almost did haha. I noticed a difference right away. Would reccomned. Is a front sway bar worth it? I believe it comes with one from factory. To me the back feels tighter now than the front but whatever. Big improvement.

 

What the hell, why is it still pink? Run out of black paint?

 

I actually don't hate it haha. Will be black soon though.

 

Doesn’t matter, still works the same if it’s pink. As for the front bar, I don’t think you will see a big change in handling because you already have a front sway bar.

 

Is there a link to the knock off front? I have the factory rear. Is there a good deal on the OE front? I’m curious about add in a little more stability.

 

Ordered the knock off from Amazon last week. Moved from the city to a rural area and the body roll on the two lane sweeping corners was too much. Got the package yesterday and installed last night. Didn't take it for much of a drive, but just small dips and bumps show huge improvement!

Amazon MULAN bar is red, packaged well, and only lacking in bushing grease for parts. My only recommendation is to ditch the split lock washers and just use the solid ones. You can see in the second picture below that one of the split washers started 'squishing' out from under the nut.

Edit: Other recommendation is to drop the spare. Way more headroom that way!

 

I am also running a knock off from Amazon. No regrets. Only thing I didn’t like was the paint was more pink than TRD red but I just ended up bed lining it black anyways before install. Up front I have a black sequoia sway bar that I took off my wife’s sequoia when installing the TRD front bar on hers.

 

Same. Huge improvement to the ride quality, even with the cheap Amazon version.

 

Did you notice an improvement with the sequoia bar up front, versus what kind stock on the tundra?

 

Just a slight increase. I know the Sequoia sway bar weighs a few more pounds. I wouldn't go out and buy it just to swap over but I already had it in the garage and had to disconnect the sway bar to install my Tundra lift anyways so figured why not throw it on at the same time.

 

I'm in that same situation.
I have a sequoia bar. From my sister's sequoia, dealer had pre installed some goodies when she bought it new, including the trd front sway bar.
I told the dealer I wanted the original front sway bar when we got her sequoia.

Have always wondered if it was going to be noticeable.
