TRD anti roll bar (sway bar) fitting instructions

Does anyone have the above, just wanted to check how hard it is to fit. I have the supra manuals at home and wanted to see whether there were any extra brackets etc with the TRD kit.

Thanks

Hi Col

Should be easy to fit, I'd guess the TRD ones are identical to stock just a bit stiffer (don't know much about the TRD ones as they are only sold by TRD USA). I would fit new drop links at the same time if you are fitting new ARB's.

See manual here: http://www.turbosupras.com/pdfs/JZA80%20TSRM/SA.pdf

Here are pics of some Cusco ARB's I supplied recently.

They'll match the colour of your motor

No extra brackets or anything, it's just a case of removing the drop links and unbolting the two brackets on each bar that hold them on and replacing the new. The thing that makes it difficult is getting the old drop links off as they are usually seized and very hard to get off, especially without knackering them.

was not my thinking at all:innocent:can you pm me a price for these and the front suspension components we spoke about delivered need to see what am looking at

What are the specs of these roll bars Nic? and price please.

Hi Nic, how much for those ARBs? Oh, which are the best for fast road usage? TRD, Cusco? Another?

My car is a aimed to be more of a GT car than outright racer

Thanks Simon. Doesn't look too bad

Bit of a thread revival but Im planning on fitting my titan bars tomorrow as my rear stock one has snapped.

How easy/hard are these to replace ? I know.how to use a spanner etc

as above, the droplinks are a pig to get off as they are usually seized solid, otherwise, fairly easy job if you know your way around a toolbox

I wont be replacing the drop links tomorrow as i just want to get this fitted as its a semi serious item that has snapped .. If i want get the drop links out then i will leave it for when i have new ones.

Anyone know how much they are from Mr.T ? Full set .

hmm that rear cusco looks adjustable too, i was looking at a pair of adjustable whitelines for my NA. Nic could you PM me the spec and a price for a pair inc delivery please bud? in the meantime i'll get some quotes for the whiteline gear through other suppliers.

i hate drop links

i know some people have used the ebay ones and they have been fine but i have never tried them, they are cheap so would be nice to see if they are still good for use because im about to change mine with my arb's if not ill go to mr t too

If you cant get the drop links undone how will you fit the new arb ?

More often than not the only way is to cut them off and replace them.

Driving without an arb isn't a big deal as long as your not pushing

the car hard which in this weather you shouldn't be

I said if i couldnt get the drop links off then i would leave the job for when i get new ones during the next week or so.

Good news to hear driving without a functional arb want be too bad, thanks dnk

Whilst doing the bushes on my landcruiser we had to cut the drop links off.

I've been running without the front arb for over a week whilst waiting

for the correct parts to arrive.

I had to cut the drop links off on my daily just the other day, absolute pain in the butt to get off. Had mole grips on the ball joint, spanner on the back, wouldnt come off. Tried heating it with a blowtorch to no avail - angle grinder ftw

If you do replace the drop links, find the part number for the mk3 supra rear drop links, they are exactly the same as the front mk4 drop links and are £12 each rather than £65!!! Dr Jekyll on here ordered the mk3 part number and they turned up in a box with the mk4 part number on

Justin, is this the case for the front ones as well?

Woops sorry the rear mk3 drop links are the same as the front mk4 drop links, i'll edit my post now!

HAHA .. had to get the angle grinder out in the end , Only took off the bit that had snapped as it was really dangerous hanging around loose under the car like that.

Will be ordering the whole set front and rear tomorrow.

Does anybody know the part number for MK3 rear drop links as i already have the part numbers for the MK4 front and rears but would love to save some cash.

PM dr jekyll on here bud, he might have the part number knocking about somewhere

Okey dokey guys.. Ive got my new front and rear drop links ordered and delivered already

I want to get some new bolts for where the bushes for the ARB mount to the underside of the car. Does anybody know the size or part number for these ?

Nobody know the bolt size ?
