    This episode of Andy's Auto Sport TV will show you the basic steps of installing front and rear strut bars/braces onto your vehicle. We also install both front and rear DC Sports strut tower bars on one of our project vehicles to show you how easy it is to improve the structural rigidity and handling of your ride. Andy's Auto Sport has what you need to get the looks and power your vehicle deserves.

    Something that's often overlooked is the hinges on a lot of strut bars. They allow flex in an up and down movement, and that flex also happens.

    I've actually been addicted to watching these videos. The host is very good at explaining things and demonstrating a procedure. I've learning more in the last 2 days that I have in the past year. Thanks and keep it up!

    I simply love these videos - short, sweet, simple - they're easy enough for anyone to understand :) as a DIYer myself, all of these videos provide a knowledgeable perspective to put against my current knowledge. Oh, and the idea of raising/lowering the front to install the DC bar is awesome!

    Appreciate this video, totally forgot to drop the suspension, I was getting ready to grab my dremel 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

    Great job with this video, and nice lil' trick with dropping the 1 strut, as I don't know how many people I've seen attempt to beat these things on with a hammer etc. .

    what it better one between Strut Bars Vs Sway bars or (Anti Roll Bars)? It look like they both doing the same jobs. thank you

    Very good job. Now I know!

  • @truthseeker8483
    @truthseeker8483 Před 8 lety +2

    Nice explanation! I noticed that fitting a strut bar to my front
    Mcpherson strut towers makes the steering noticeably heavier. Why would
    this be? Does it mean the tower cannot flex so the top mount bearing
    gets loaded up?

  • @FUELMYRIDE
    @FUELMYRIDE Před 7 lety +1

    I enjoyed this video! Its also impotent to consider that some thinner/ cheaper strut braces are not very effective if they flex easier then the chassis its self (eg if you can bend it by leaning on it)

    Does the torque spec vary by car year, make and model?

  • @driftingdonuts
    @driftingdonuts Před 10 lety

    I have a 99 integra gsr with a skunk2 intake manifold, will a strut bar fit over that? The factory one was too low to fit the new intake manifold.

  • @jenzelarevalo1086
    @jenzelarevalo1086 Před 10 lety +1

    So I have lowered my car to a considerable height. Not too low yet now to high, but I could still feel the weight distribution or body roll of my car as I turn or enter a freeway through a sharp curve. I am intending to drop my car another inch or an inch and a half and add a strut bar. My main question is: When people say that a strut bar makes the ride "stiffer", does that mean reducing body roll? I've watched this video over and over but I can't seem to grasp the concept in my mind. I know for a fact that SWAY bars reduce body roll significantly, but if I have adjustable suspension systems why should I replace my sway bar to reduce body roll if I am willing to drop my car another inch or so? Can someone help me please? Thanks!

    Do you have to torque down the nuts after installing the strut bars?

  • @posernotricer

    so which one is better? solid one like the DC or the flexible jointed one like you see on the cusco and greddy?

  • @souljaboytellem619

    Would this make me able to drift better or worse? Or no effect at all?

  • @Sjackson2369
    @Sjackson2369 Před 11 lety

    followed the link, found them for plenty of cars like grand ams and G5s, but not for my grand prix.... and i could really use that triangulated strut bar. 236 thousand miles on the thing and it handles like a three wheeled nova. really could use something to stiffen the chassis

  • @zachseaboltMusic

    Hello ! Should I lift the front end of the car while I'm installing the front bar ? Give me an advise which is the right way to do it and why ?

    how is the hood going to close?

    • @AndysAutoSportTV
      @AndysAutoSportTV  Před 6 lety +1

      These strut bars are designed to allow the hood to be able to close. That's part of their engineering process: making sure it can be installed without requiring other modifications.

  • @dephyant
    @dephyant Před 11 lety +1

    torque is greater than horse power
    Strut bar accommodates for that torque
    so yeah, technically.

    Do all cars have rear strut bars?

  • @jimreuss
    @jimreuss Před 6 lety

    would have been cool to run the car through a slalom before and after so we could see a time difference with and without the strut tower bars.

  • @aaronrichardson4564
    @aaronrichardson4564 Před 10 lety

    ***** Im not going to say to NOT drop it again, that is your choice, but you're only lowering the center of gravity, not stiffening up the chassis. This has to be done with cross supports. I would say go with the sway bar if you need some very noticeable increase, however strut bars do offer support as well, just not as much.

    Overweight is bad, bending is ok since force won't be applied this way.
