First of all, I love the improvement in handling with the strut bars. I put both front and back strut bars in and handles a lot tighter. I hated the way my Alero sank during hard turns, but after installing the strut bars, I can take 90 degree turns at 35-40 mph easy.
Anyhow, the rear strut bar went in fine, but the front bar touches the top of the alternator. It makes rattling sound when I start up and once in a while when I'm driving, due to engine movement. I bought the strut bars from
www.pfyc.com I am currently looking for a bar that's off-set a little so it will cleanly clear the alternator. Anyone have any ideas?
I also want to get polyurethane engine mount but can't find it anywhere. BTW my car is 1999 Alero 3.4L V6. Funny thing I noticed was that my strut bar that's touching the alternator acts as a stiffer engine mount and I noticed a bit of increase in torque
That's where the search for polyurethane engine mount came from. LOL
Well, if anyone has any ideas for the front strut bar and polyurethane engine mount, PLEASE let me know. Thanks a lot.
