Progress Technology Rear Sway Bar
2008–2014 Scion xD, 2007–2014 Toyota Yaris
62.2140
Overview:
The Progress Technology Rear Sway Bar is a precision-engineered suspension upgrade designed specifically for the Scion xD (2008–2014) and Toyota Yaris (2007–2014). This non-adjustable 19mm solid sway bar replaces the smaller OEM rear sway bar and rubber bushings with a larger diameter alloy steel bar and durable polyurethane bushings. By increasing rear roll stiffness, it significantly reduces body lean during cornering, keeping the tires flatter and better connected to the road surface. This results in improved grip, enhanced handling balance, and greater driver confidence on both street and track.
Ideal for enthusiasts seeking to minimize understeer and improve chassis responsiveness, the Progress Technology Rear Sway Bar offers a straightforward and effective upgrade to the factory suspension setup without compromising daily drivability.
Key Features:
Engineered to elevate your vehicle’s handling dynamics, this rear sway bar includes:
- 19mm solid alloy steel construction for increased roll stiffness
- Non-adjustable design optimized for balanced chassis tuning
- Hard polyurethane bushings for reduced deflection and improved durability
- Direct bolt-on replacement for factory rear sway bar and bushings
- Precision CNC bending and laser-cut ends for exact fitment
- MIG-welded joints ensuring structural integrity and longevity
- Developed and manufactured in-house in the USA
- Reduces body roll and understeer for sharper cornering response
- Maintains tire contact patches for enhanced traction and control
Construction & Design:
The Progress Technology Rear Sway Bar is crafted from high-quality alloy steel, cold-formed using advanced CNC bending equipment to achieve precise geometry tailored to the Scion xD and Toyota Yaris chassis. The sway bar ends are laser-cut and CNC-machined before being MIG-welded with exacting fixtures to ensure a perfect fit and consistent performance. The polyurethane bushings replace the softer rubber OEM components, providing firmer mounting points that resist wear and maintain suspension alignment under load. This robust construction guarantees durability and reliable handling improvements over the life of the vehicle.
Installation & Fitment:
This rear sway bar is designed as a direct replacement for the factory rear sway bar on 2008–2014 Scion xD and 2007–2014 Toyota Yaris models. Installation requires no modifications and can typically be completed with basic hand tools. The included polyurethane bushings and mounting hardware ensure a secure fit. This upgrade integrates seamlessly with the existing suspension components, making it an accessible enhancement for enthusiasts and professional installers alike.
What's Included:
- One 19mm solid rear sway bar
- Polyurethane rear sway bar bushings
- Mounting brackets and hardware
- Installation instructions
Ideal For:
This rear sway bar is perfect for drivers looking to improve handling precision and reduce body roll without sacrificing ride quality. It suits daily drivers, weekend enthusiasts, and those participating in autocross or spirited driving events who want a more balanced chassis and enhanced cornering confidence. It is especially beneficial for vehicles exhibiting excessive understeer or “plowing” during aggressive turns.
