before you flame me i just want to let you know that i did search all different varients looking for this subject..but no luck.
Does anyone have pics of an installed rear strut tower bar, i just got mine in today and i think the dude sent me the wrong part, its got round flanges and wont fit my 92 ludes rear strut towers...let me know thanks

 

Are you looking for a lower or upper sturt bar??

 

upper strut...my bad

 

i think i know ur problem bc i have a similar one. i got mine off ebay so its probly just a **** piece but the way the holes all line up it doesnt fit perfectly. but actually if u put the plates on the opposite strut towers it lines up perfectly but the bar wont reach. its probly just poorly made but it still serves its purpose.

 

this is a little ot but have you considered a rear sway bar?

that'll help much more than a rear strut bar. the rear strut bar is just for bling.

 

its dark out side and snowing I'll take a pic of my tanabe tomorrow if your still looking for pics

i have one of those also. however he was askin about the strut tower bar

 

i got mine for 15 bucks so i couldnt resist it...the holes do line up, but the ****** flanges are sooo big that they hit the raised side of the fender wall..so i wouldnt be able to bolt the tower bolt down completely (owned)...the only way i see it would fit would to be to bash my fender well in..and im not about to do that for a 15 dollar piece of ****!

 

thats pretty much wut happened to mine. ill take a pic of it tomorrow for u. try putting the plates on the opposite strut tower than theyre supposed to be on. see if they fit perfectly like mine did. its as if they welded the mounts for the bar on the wrong side. but hey thats ebay **** for u

 

Heres a pic of mine, its a fifth gen but its all the same ****.

 

So which ebay ones fit? I want one for the my rear just for bling but I am gonna get a spoon one for my front.

what kind of strut bar is that its thick doesnt look like from ebay

 

the one i got off ebay is SUPER thick and weighs a good 6lbs... but the damn flanges are annoying, did you just tighten down that bolt to make it fit right or did everything drop right into place?

There is almost no room for adjustment. Everything fit neatly, then I just tightened down the bolts.

 

i think the 5th gens have a different wheel well structure..ill take pics of my problem tomorrow..god ill be so glad when ****** winter is over and i get more then a few hours of sunlight.

i will actually be able to paint my car, i was gonna do it last week..but i didnt get the paint gun in yet! and its still too wet out..gay

 

yea i just tightened the **** outta mine as much as i could n then i had one of my buddies tighten it down real nice n good...big black guy on roids haha

 

when all else fails, bust out the juiced black guy, always good to have one of those in your toolbox...ill call my boy up then and just torque that bitch down

Dude...cut the flange.

 

i dont know if i can, the thing is thick man, its seriously good quality but the fit sucks..the only tools i have available that might be able to is a hacksaw!

Buy or rent an angle grinder and a cut-off wheel. That'll chop through it in 10 seconds.

 

yea with my luck it will slip and ill be evicerated by it...ill just see if i can use my bench sander to sand that ****** down a lil bit

 

Here is some photos of my Tanabe







My problem is the front! The bar seems to be too long. It can't fit in the rear or the front.
