I am buying an XB this week and am thinking of the rear sway bar.
I HAVE done a suspension install on my Miata (sway bars and Koni shocks), so I could do the work.

BUT, would I need a new alignment installing the rear one on an XB, or would the alignment bolts be unaffected by the install?

-> I'm unsure of how it bolts up and what bolts are used in the mounting.

The rear suspension is a a-pillar design, not a independet suspension. So there is no alingment in the rear. Just bot it on and go.

Thanks.

I'll just save $$ and buy from the site sponsor, installing them myself.
The same goes for a number of items.
(That would probably piss-off the Toyota dealer, should they realize that.)

I'll certainly get the rear sway bar.

Yeah I though about having the dealer do alot of my work then changed my mind. I don't like to wait for my car, and I don't like spending money I don't need to when I can do it myself. Plus this car is the easist car I have ever worked on.

since we're on the subject, does installing a new front sway bar require a realignment?

Sparks has the installation instructions on their website. http://www.trdsparks.com/install/PTR11-52080inst.pdf

Thanks!

That helps a lot.

Unfortunately they only have some of the installation instructions in PDF format. If available they're listed in the upper right corner of the page for that part. A lot of the parts just say "installation instructions included". Hopefully Sparks will expand this feature...or somebody will find another resource.

alright. thanks for the heads up

Will the front require an alignment.
