Turbometal would like to introduce the upper strut bar for 07-08 Honda Fit in Turbometal storefront. In Turbometal Storefront you can find the upper front strut bar and the lower tie bar for 2007-2008 Honda Fit. If you want to find out more information about these upper front strut bars, you can check out more information in Turbometal storefront and the pictures below which has the strut bar installed on the 2007-2008 Honda Fit:.
Strut Bar, or some people call it strut brace or strut tower brace, which is a simple bar bolted to the top of two opposing strut towers. It ties them together to form a more rigid single unit. A car’s strut towers normally flex during hard cornering or when hitting a bump, some say up to a quarter of an inch. This flexing can cause traction loss as well as some rattles. The strut tower brace distributes the pressure applied to one strut tower to both towers keeping the suspension settings the way the engineers designed them. This should improve handling, tire wear and metal fatigue is minimized in the strut tower portion.
When asked about suspension modifications, Larry Nissen (a BMW Tech) said. “I would start with a good strut brace, it may help the handling a little now but where you will get your money back is three years down the road when your car is still as tight as it is now”. A strut bar is designed to reduce this strut tower flex by tying two parallel strut towers together. This transmits the load of each strut tower during cornering via tension and compression of the strut bar which shares the load between both towers and reduces chassis flex.
great post as usual
