I got my TRD rear sway bar, part # PTR06-06990-10 for my 01 ES300.

Installation went well except the bar is 1/4in short. Basically, driver side mounting holes off by 1/4in. Pushed the other side to the max but didn't help at all.

Any of 2001 ES300 has similar problem? Can't be defective bar right?

I don't want to spend another $200 for whiteline and pray.

did you match it up to the stock. i bet you put it in a little off, because i remember thinking the same thing when i installed my front whiteline sb. just keep messing with it.

the strut bar and sway bar are two different things. the strut bbars connect the strut towers, the sway bars connect the lca. i think it made a difference, because its not like im drifting my car where i need to be concerned so much with oversteer understeer. but i do think it makes a somewhat difference.
btw, i have the whiteline fsb and rsb.
goodluck

not off the top of my head, but if you find it, tell us what it is, and i should be able to recall or not. i believe i ordered everything from globalperformance.com or something.

Took it off right after I posted here (got so mad). Compared the two sway bars next to each other, the TRD is definately shorter by 1/2in.

Is there anyone here has '01 ES300 with RSB upgrade? If so, please let me know the part #.

I am not sure if '01 has some changes or not but everything fit perfectly except 1/2 shorter.

First, defective NGK spark plug, know this. However, I can remove / reinstall all SIX spark plugs or remove / reinstall RSB in a less than 15min.
