172 Lower strutbrace

[Cookson]

Are these available from anywhere?

 

[Cookson]

anyone?

What do you mean by the lower strut brace mate?

 

[Cookson]

They do them for the 106 and saxos

Its basically a bar that bolts between the bottom arms, adding a little rigidity

 

[clio_luke]

anti roll bar.
yes, they do make them for clio's. think its balance motorsport. fred had a group buy going a while back. good bit of kit so i hear. upper strut braces are a bit of a waste of time on clio's.

 

[Cookson]

I dont think its classed as an anti-roll bar is it?

Oh, lower strut brace?!!

Awesome on my saxo ...

Goes off to search on google

Fred says they dont do them

I may have to fabricate one then, lol

Whiteline ARB is the only thing I can think of too - as Clio_luke mentioned above

Very good reports on them, would like one myself sometime

 

[Gray]

Whiteline do make one for the front, if you search hard enough

 

[Cookson]

Its not so much an ARB though as theres no movement

 

[Gray]

BTW... its not needed at all on the 172.

IIRC whiteline call it a "link bar" for the front

 

[Gray]

just checked their website... discontinued!

Its just something for you to catch on things on the floor. Does nothing

 

[Sir_Dave]

Does nothing

Why? Does a hell of a lot on the 106/saxo - is the front end suspension completely different then ... ?

The 1*2's use the subframe as this, pretty much.

If you've ever seen a 106/saxo with no engine, and see how and what the wishbones mount to, you wouldn't be surprised they flex.
