I don't agree with this, but that's no big surprise, right.

It seems to me that it takes less torque to travel straight up and down with the blue line. Than it does to create the flex to follow the arc of the red line.

These things were not designed to teminate chassis flex or body sway.
They only dampen it. So to think that this 1 strut tower bar is going to stop it completely. The front strut bar should be used in conjunction with the rear for the desired responce and sensitivity.

Sometimes I think some of us overthink a project. I know I do. It may become a pivot point at A in the picture. But it has to require more torque to follow the arc.

Some of you guys are running these things with over 500hp. That may be exceeding the maximum torque capacity of any rod you apply.

And ya....., They sure are pretty and look like you have done something.

I hate to say it but I think e bay is the best bet to find a real trd. i had one located and bought and then I woke up and realized how much money the guy wanted for it, not to mention finding a match for the back.

I went with JIC strut tower bars. Front and rear.
