I Need a Stabilizer Bar!!!

[Tercedes]

Does anyone have any idea where I can find a stabilizer bar? Maybe pulled from another make and model car that fits or anything? I called a dealer in Denver and he said that there are none in the country. Mine is broken which has rendered my car useless. Please help!

calling the local wreckers is your best bet. shouldn't cost much. probably a good time to replace your end bushings and collars too but only dealer-associated places sell them. if you're in the US, try butler toyota in indiana. a lot of members here use them and find they have great prices.

i did a write up on removing/installing the stabilizer bar, aka sway bar, in case you need it.

I would check another dealer.
Far too many dealers find it easier to say NLA rather than do the required checking.
I got a new bar last year without any trouble.

I know you can get aftermarket ones! Godspeed makes them for T4WD!
Edit: Sorry my bad they are for AE86 my mind got mixed up! The rear one may fit tho!

I'm going to head out to my folks on sunday where my parts car is at, I can see if I could pull it and get it shipped. Though shipping may be quite expensive depending on the size of the part. It's on an '85. Are you looking for front or rear? If front which side?

[Tercedes]

Im looking for the front stabilizer bar for an 84 Tercel 4wd. I've had no luck yet with the junk yards. I'd be happy to pay for shipping and the part. Any help is appreciated. If anyone has anything please let me know.

Okay, checked mine, it looks good and is one piece (can't read the FSM too well for abbreviated drawings apparently). I'll get some pics up in a few. How does $25 +shipping sound?

arb, you should prob remove the bar and check for bottle-necking underneath the collar before selling it to tercedes. that's the crucial part of the bar.

[Tercedes]

I would be more than happy to take that from you. DLB is right about the bottle necking as that was what ended my stabilizer bar. But even if there is some bottle necking I can at least take it to a machinist and have them reinforce the warn out areas. Send me a message and I can get you the money for is asap. I'm riding my bike around in the snow here in the Colorado Rockies until my car is back on the road. Thanks a ton arbskynxnex.

[Tercedes]

Thanks Arbskynxnex for getting me that bar. I'm back up and running now. Still not 100% though. I don't suppose you might have a lower control arm you would be willing to sell me? The hole where the bar mounts to is warn out to a size much larger than it should be. The bar wont mount in there snugly and so I still have play and will have play until I replace it.
You were more than fair on the last piece. If you have this lower control arm and are willing to part with it I would again be very appreciative.

there is quite a bit of space in the sway bar end receiving holes in the control arm normally. did you compare one control arm to the other? i guess if your old sway bar was bouncing around it could have worn it down a bit over time.

[Tercedes]

Yep. That's exactly what it did. The hole is worn out to be much larger than what is should be.
