    The new Moog link sets installed fine. As for the front bushings, I was wondering whether a 26mm bar was going to fit in a 26mm hole, and that answers that. I couldn't even squeeze the bushings on, because the bushing OD was too big for the bracket too.

    These look like the correct ID and OD. Round three of ordering! At least the links are done and these will be easy to swap out.

    edit: Actually I think I'll get these. At least this is for a 4wd Tacoma and not some other brand so probably is right.

    Those don't fit. I need 27mm. Energy wasn't willing to check the OD for me. I ordered a bunch on Amazon and will return whatever doesn't fit.

    Yeah I'm always interested in the oddites in the 95 - 97's.
    these are a hybird mix of the Hilux's, 4runners, and the old 3vz/22r wagons....
    And share a lot in common with the T100's......even though those grew into the tundra's......

    So post what you find.....I doubt its been swapped out......

    FYI the Delphi TD4728W sway bar rubber bushings were a good fit. The mold quality isn't great. At least they are the right dimensions and are probably better than the degraded OEMs. All others I tried did not fit.
