I know this has been done to death but there was something that i found and wanted a opinion about.
I found the bushing for
Rear Suspension, Stabilizer Bar, Bushings, Supra, W/Turbo $5.23
at parts . com
and then the bracket
Rear Suspension, Stabilizer Bar, Bracket, Supra $5.99
same place

i did find these part # that were on the other thread
but no illistrations to go with those these.

T52205-14020 $81.42 Cushion
T52206-14010 $81.42 Cushion

The pictures that went with the peices i found looked like the right peices.
Any one on either side of this can verify.
I found these with the flu and a temp of 103 soooooo.

Get better and then look at your post again. I cannot figure out what you are posting/asking. Can you be a bit more clear? The sway bar mounts and the sub frame cushions are very different parts. All of these parts are posted on this forum in several threads.

Maybe explain your purpose. What are you trying to do?

I will be a little clearer this time.

I have had a set of TT sway bars and wanted to install them on my 300. I never installed them because the cost asssiated with the bushings/cushions.
It was my onder standing that inorder to install the sway bars we needed to have these two peices
T52205-14020 $81.42 Cushion
T52206-14010 $81.42 Cushion

but as i look at the service manual and the diagram from the parts. com it looks like the peices we need and only $5-7 a peice. this is much more reasonable. $28 vs. $161.
Hope this cleared things up.

Ethan,

I understand now. You are thinking that a sway bar mount is actually a subframe mount. That is not the case. Trust me, if I bought the wrong part, I would have let you all know by now. I did this swap over 4 months ago.

Currently, the SC mounts the sway bar using two small clamps directly to the trunk floor. These cost about $5 each. The supra uses the subframe mounts ($81ea) to THEN mount the swaybar mounts to. So in essence you need BOTH parts to make it work. The subframe mounts hold up the entire rear suspension and mechanical. The sway bar mounts are bolted to these cushions and then the sway bar runs on top of that.

If there was a cheaper way, I would have already found it in all likelyhood.

Good luck and be very careful doing this mod to not ding up the pressured lines that run in front of the subframe cushions. You need to almost drop the whole rear end down to swap them. There is a trick to not tighten either cushion down until they are both swapped. However, that would require you to have the entire rear off the ground.

Lastly, the better method is to just order Daizen SC sway bars that are BUILT for your car. Better stiffness, better balance, and no need to swap all the expensive OEM parts.

Ethan,

I see that you tried to PM me. Sorry, I have about 200 PM's a week and it was overflowing. I cleared out all the fan mail and so you should be able to send again.
