What is Front Rear, Upper Strut + Tie Bar?

[chris1991119]

Hey guys,

So i'm browsing through ebay and i see "Front Rear Upper Strut + Tie Bar" for my celica.

So as a newbie, what is it?

Is it performances? or just for looks?

And would you guys recommend to get brand items or just as long as they do the job items?

I'm assuming that the Front strut bar would be the brace that connects between the 2 suspension mounting points underneath your hood. Usually just a bar that is bolted from one side to the other. It enables the vehicle to have less body roll in the front when going around a corner.

Similarly the rear is used to keep the back end stiff so less body roll there again around corners.

As for the rest, not too sure..
