I have TRD rear sway bars and I need to replace the bushings. Is the factory and TRD sway bars same size?

No, the TRD sway bar is much thicker.

Do you know where I can get replacement ones that can fit the TRD one?

You might try a google search and get lucky, but I'm pretty certain they were never sold separately from the sway bar itself. May I ask why you need to replace them? I didn't think polyurethane wore out easily.

When I bought my rsb in 04 it did not come with it. My factory one was rigged to fit it and now it's worn out.

are you sure yours is worn up? the squeeking can be fixed by adding some lub, i slaped on some synthetic grease which helped.

since were on the topic of the bushings find out how thick the TRD rsb and find a round universal bushing that matches the stock shape of the original bushing

please check how thick the TRD sway bar is, the inner hole might not be big enough
