front upper strut bar

[stlunatics2oo3]

yeah i was wonderin if you can get a front upper strut bars fr a 89 cutlass supreme

Yes you can, they're called "Strut Tower Brace"s, You can usually find them on ebay, although they're a bit pricey.

 

They're not hard to install, other than the fact that you'll have to drill 2 holes in each strut tower cover.

 

You'll want this one:

1991-92 style, straight tube type brace. GM Part No. 10165774.

 

I believe you're able to put one in the back too. Since you have a cutlass.

However, I'm not sure if it's proprietary to Sedans or coupes? It should work for both, though

 

Try http://www.gmpartsdirect.com , they usually have them for the lowest price.

Unless you can find a thicker one that will fit, this is the one you want. It's made for our cars, and it's paintable, so you can just paint it whatever color you want.

All the ones I've seen make you drill the two holes for the bolts, but, out of curiosity, where would you bolt it to if you didn't drill the holes?

RSM sells an adjustable one that goes right over the existing studs on the top of your strut tower. And the use the existing nuts. It's a pretty nice looking unit.

I just installed the front STB that you have to drill the plates to install. It was a piece of cake. On my 89 Cutlass Coupe I did have to remove the underhood trouble light to clear the bar though. I also made a custom rear STB out of 1.5inch exhuast pipe that I flattened the ends on and drilled holes to mount on the strut mounting bolts. I painted both bar yellow and they look pretty sweet.

nerf bar so where did you get the strut bar for the front

[Brian P]

just ordered mine! Figure I get it before GM tries to do a price hike!

My STB should be here in a couple days. I got mine out of the for sale section from snake.

I have a spare one of the 97+ STB's too (the ones that you need to drill through the plates). I'm gonna see if I can find a way to get studs spot-welded to the plates, that would be a much cleaner install.

I just bought mine of ebay a couple weeks ago. It probably came from one of you guys... LOL
