    Default Corona RT142 front sway bar same as Celica RA-65?

    Hi guys,

    I've been doing searches but can't seem to locate the right solution... My question is: Is the Corona RT142 front sway bar the same (stiffness, grade, etc) as the Celica RA-65's? I know the RA-65 fits the RT142... but what is the difference between them? If their is a difference, can someone tell me the diameter in mm of the RA-65 please? Is it a worthy mod?

    I've pretty much finished restoring my RT142 wagon, and would like to put the RA-65 front sway bar in if it's better than the stock RT142's.

    Cheers!

    Get an SA63 one, 27mm compared to 24mm rt142.

    RA65 is probably the same as SA63 though.

    Thanks 'Konakid', that's a great help! I can confirm the SA63 front sway bar is in fact the same as the RA65, which broaden's the chances of locating one just a little higher...

    is an AE86 front sway bar a close fit for RA60/65 ? I vague recall someone stuffing a sprinter front bar (whiteline or selby perhaps) into one



    ... but at my age, memory is a variable thing.

    Not saying it fits for sure, I am using an mx62 cresida bar on my ke70, the ke70 is the same as the ae86 I belive, I belive the rt142 is the same platform as the mx62? and therefore it just might let me know if it does.

    Well that's weird... just picked up a sway bar of a SA-63 and it's only 22mm that's 2mm thinner than the one I currently have on the Corona!
