Hey guys I went to the toyota parts today asking for the strut tower brace from the 99-01 solara and they said it's $110 for the part. They also said they don't give out part numbers. I was wondering if this is a exact fit and is there a place I could get it cheaper

 

Are you talking about the strut brace that ties the front struts together under the hood?

 

Yeah. I feel like I have too much body roll when I turn

Does this one look good?

 

no i dont think that one will fit ur car. it says it wont fit v6 camrys so im guessin it wont fit ur es300 either. try ur local junkyard, i got mine for 10 bucks.

 

My junkyard doesn't have it I went earlier today

 

giovany24 - what yr/make/model did you get that one off of and which year ES do you own?

 

I wonder if a later model one would fit. My '05 has one on it from the factory.

 

Try:

or

I wasn't able to find it, but you may have better luck. The part websites can be relatively incomplete at times, especially with no part#. I don't think mine has that brace and it might be tougher to find if it was added in later models such as yours

 

came of a 00 but any 99-01 solara bar should fit. mine es is a 97. the 99-01 solara bar should fit any 97-01 es.

 

Still trying to find a site that might have it. No luck Should I buy it brand new from Toyota dealership for $110? Is it worth it?

 

Theres gotta be a way to get the part# out of them.

 

Do you even need one? My 97 doesn't have one and the only application I can think of is for excessively hard driving and maintaining the rigidity of the struts. If there is no structural failure on it I don't see the need in replacing it. I would think there is something else that is contributing to the body roll.

I'm just being logical, but my logic could be wrong haha

 

Well yesterday morning I went to the guy for a quote and part number but he said "sorry Im not allowed to give it out"

Well I just want the turns to be a tad stiffer but not too big, but dont get me wrong I've heard it's pretty nice. Thanks for sharing your knownledge by the way.

 

it will make the car feel stiffer and the steering more responsive. i have one on my 97

 

Where you buy one?
