Strut Bar Question???

**Jolam143** · September 9th, 2003 11:26 AM

Mga sir pasensya na po sa tanong na to???

Ano po ba ang function nitong strut bar??? Plano ko kasing painstall nito sa ride ko.... But of course, first I wanted to know what benefits will i derive from this gastusin.... :D

Strut bars makes n helps ur ride more stabilized on the road . makes the chassis more rigid and strong .

It lessens the flex of the body structure of the car. Kasi kapag sobrang hard cornering, the mounting points of the suspension (which is the monocoque structure) tends to flex. Flex can lead to poor tire contact during these situations resulting in ill handling.

That's why nilalagay ang strutbar to minimize flex.

Siyempre during extreme driving lang iyon. The rest of the time, it just makes your car look cooler. hehehe.

...the flexing of the body structure can also lead to cracked windshield windows. The last time I went to a Canyon Run with my fella Suby owners, I can hear my windshield flexing as we take the hard turns in Angeles Crest Highway. Front strut bar lang ang wala kaya nag flex, naglagay na din ako sa harap, di ko pa nasubukan ulit kung mag flex pa.

Also, I believe a stiffer swaybar will give you a better handling benefits than the strut bar. In addition, you can barely notice a difference kung strut tower bar lang ang ilalagay mo. Gaya ng sabi ni OTEP, eye candy lang. Depending on your car din kung which (front or rear muna) ang uunahin mong ilagay na stru tower bar. For instance, yung Subaru ko nilagay ko muna ng rear bago front. Why? yung strut top kse ng Suby ko malapit sa Firewall ng chassis so yung firewall is acting as an aid for chassis stiffness. Whereas sa rear, naked talaga na walang support ang strut top. For Honda? I think front strut bar muna dahil masyadong malayo sa firewall yung strut top.

Again, hindi natatapos ang suspension mod sa strut tower (unless na pang cool effect lang ang trip mo.) If you are just gonna throw on a front strut tower bar and nothing else(good tires won't even matter) you most likely will feel nothing. You'd be just a person showing off an"eye candy". If other aspects of susp. have already been addressed, then this will "TIE" things up nice.

Other aspects of Suspension Package that I have:
Whiteline Front Strut Bar
Whiteline Rear Strut Bar
Whiteline adjustable 22-24mm rear swaybar
Whiteline Heavy-duty rear swaybar bracket
Whiteline heavy-duty rear swaybar mount
MRT Alloy rear endlinks
TEIN Super Street full coil-over suspension

mga boss tanong lang.
how about yung pakiramdam sa steering wheel na parang antagal bumalik yung body sa pagkabalanse nya. kagaya nung kapag nagovertake ka e parang di mo pa agad maibabalik sa dating linya mo dahil parang hindi pa balansyado yung body. is it a simple shock absorber problem or others?

Sirs, noob here. Just acquired a 2001 CRV last month. During our long-drive, my cousin, a wanna-be racecar driver handled the car along Santa Fe zigzag road going to Cagayan Valley, and I noticed several instances of understeers and/or oversteers. (not sure), bsta may times pa na parang umaangat ang opposite na gulong pag mabilis ang pag negotiate sa mga sharp curves.

Anyways, my ask is would be,, what is the adviseable tuning recommended for CRV 2001? I browsed UltraRacing.com, and found 3 types (front,read,anti-roll).. Can just the front tower strut-bar compensate the issues mentioned above?

TIA

Nope. You can remove a little bit of oversteer... but it's quite unlikely you would ever see oversteer in an 01 CR-V... at least not bad enough to require rectification.

Rear anti-roll bars will take away some understeer... at the expense of introducing possible snap-oversteer if they're too aggressive.

If you want to tune the CR-V for better handling, you'll want to lower it a bit (not too much), change to wider and/or bigger mags with better tires and add the bars.

Lowering it will bring the center of gravity down and make it more sure-footed. Wider and taller mags will help eliminate tread squirm and the bars will make the car more stable. But what will remove understeer and oversteer will be a switch to better tires.

Sir Otep at Boss Karding which of these kaya ang uunahin ko... Yung front or rear strut bar???? BTW my ride is a 95 corolla

kasi every day I negotiate this downward sloping sharp curve on my way to the office and at this point I have to decelerate from 90+ to 40 or something kasi parang tumilapon ako pakanan.... nauunahan tuloy ako ng mga opis mates ko..... ok pa naman ang under chassis na ride ko... pati suspension....

will a front and rear strut bar solve the problem????

One more thing saan ba inilagay itong rear strut bar???

Again thanks mga sir
