at my last co-op, a friend of mine made this strut bar for his 2005 ford foucs zx3


Here are a few different angles to see how it looks.

I cannot remember what he made it from, but he put the bends in it himself and did all of the fabrication. I did help by telling him how thick my brackets were on my strut towers.

Hope this inspires some more projects...

this only cost... what it was for the electricity to run a few tools.. all the other pieces were laying in the shop.

 

Looks good, i have thought about doing this, can anyone that has made an adjustable one post pics?

 

---- adjustable, solid or nothing

 

to make an adjustable go buy two 10$ hiem joints/spherical rod ends, and either tap the pip or weld in a threaded insert and your done

 

that home made job came out pretty nice.

 

what about making a c-pillar?

 

Yup made an Adjustable C and a B Pillar Bar, but will be replacing them with a cage. May be offering them thruough LSD Motorsports soon.

 

what all did u use to make them..and where did u pick up the parts

 

Mcmastercarr and local suppliers.

 

This brings back memories. Here some pics of a strut bar I made about 4 years ago. Made from 1" x 1/2" steel. The mounts are from a junkyard.
