O.k. I've searched for the past couple of hours and found nothing, I just bought a front strut bar that I was gonna sell to my friend, and well he backed out and now I'm stuck with another front upper strut bar that I don't really need, because I already have one on, my question is that can I put the strut bar on my upper rear and/or will it cause any problems at all being it's for the front I have a 95 gs n/t.
 
Sure! You will have to hack up your interior to make it fit, and it will suprise me if it fits wich I doubt.


I think i saw a rear bar on ebay for like 5 dollars the other day, a bunch of them,, seems silly to waste any time on this.......



If it fits I want pics though, I will say :tease: that guy has a front strut bar on his rear strut towers. How bizarre!!!
 
yeah I know I can get one on ebay for like 3.99 I know. I can sell the spare I have and just buy one. I was just curious of if I can do it. other wise I have to find a buyer for the spare I just didn't want to go threw all the trying to find somebody around here that has fast cash. I just wanna know if it'll for sure fit and if I will have problems of any kinds. before I even attempt to try it.

It's cool. I just really don't think it will fit. I understand the mounting points for the struts are further under the vehicle thsn the front wich incidentally would position the strut towers further aay from the wheel. Again I think the bar will be too long and the brackets will not fit the interior. Give it a shot though.



All you need is a phillips screw driver, pop your panels above your towers off and try to test fit the bar. You'll know for your self in a matter of minutes if it will fit.
