A front strut bar has revolutionized the handling ability for many racer cars. When adding the front strut bar to your Nissan 350z will make it so much better in the handling field. For example, the front bar is set up to stop the body of the car from moving when making high speed turns. For the 350z there are many different bands of front strut bars to choose to purchase. A couple are Greddy, Stillen, DC Sports titanium, Ciruit Sports, and Tanabe. A front strut bar is designed to reduce this strut tower flex by tying two parallel strut towers together. This then transmits the load of each strut tower during cornering tension and compression of the strut bar which shares the load between both towers and reduces chassis flexibility. The front strut bar accessory usually used in conjunction with back Strut bar on the unibody chassis to provide extra strength between the strut towers. A front strut bar suspension system where the spring and shock absorber are combined in the one suspension unit and the entire vertical suspension load is transmitted to the top of the vehicle's strut tower. For the unlikely old cars the double wishbone suspensions where the spring and shock absorber may share the same load separately. In the general terms, a tower in a front strut bar chassis is a reinforced portion of the inner wheel well and is not necessarily directly connected to the main chassis rails. For that reason there is less flex within the towers relative to the chassis rails by adding a front bar. In the performance area the front bar from the improved chassis rigidity will be improved steering precision under high load conditions. A reduced under steer tire wear and metal fatigue in the tower area may also be experienced.
- Improved chassis rigidity will be improved steering
- Reduce this strut tower flex by tying two parallel strut towers together
