Is There a Strut Bar for the Tacoma?

Hello - I just purchased a '07 Double Cab/Short Bed, and was curious if there is a strut bar for the Tacoma? Before getting the Tacoma, I drove a a '06 Civic Si and loved the way it handled. Now, I'm not trying to speed in and out of turns or curves, but just trying to improve the handling.

I tried searching for this topic but no success in finding results.

 

not too sure, but they may have made one for the x-runners.

 

Considering the Tacoma utilizes a frame on body design VS the Civic's uni-body design, I'm pretty sure the answer is no, although I cannot say that with complete certainty. I cant see any real benefit to having a strut bar on the Tacoma since the strut essentially mounts directly to the chassis causing very little, if any deviation from one side to the other while cornering.

 

they have rear sway bars for the x-runners im pretty sure. not sure if they'd work on anything else.

 

They Tacoma does not use a real strut. It is a coil-over shock assembly. The front suspension uses a Short - Long arm suspension. The control arms are where all the forces are applied, and transfered to the frame. A Civc uses a Macphereson Strut. There is only one, lower, control arm. The upper part of the knuckle is attached to the strut and the top of the strut then is bolted to a bucket in the frame. Since the Strut is the second connecting point for the knuckle, it takes a lot of the road force, which then translates to the frame and ends up with flex. That is what the strut bar is for, to help prevent any flex at that point. Not sure if I explained this very well, but hope it helps.

 

Is there a cross over strut bar for 2016 Taco?

 

Ummmmm, ya.....

 

No

 

See reply #5.

 

Sure you can make one. Start at the top of the coil over, get a torch and burn a hole through the engine block and feed the bar through and attatch it to the other side
