2002 Strut tower measurements? - 4/17/2008 4:35:25 AM

I've been told by someone that a front strut bar for a 2002 Camry will fit an 04-08 Prius. Parts for Prius are rare, so before I drop the money on this (as this person also told me a 2G Talon bar fit, which it didn't), could someone with a 2002 Camry please measure the distance between the strut towers? The easiest for me to work with would probably be the distance between the center of the strut rods/nuts themselves.

TIA!

Such a lovely attitude from a "Super Member" (Super Useless, maybe).

My other car has a full coilover suspension, custom rear arms, a 5 pt rollbar, and would most likely annihilate your Camry in an autox, and definitely would on the dragstrip. It could also tow more (IOW, more useful all around).

But that really has nothing to do with the topic at hand, so....

Is anyone else willing to give a proper answer, or will I just have to deal with this loser's "answer"?

Useless troll. Can't type, can't spell, can't live without causing trouble. And your car is probably a Yugo, since you don't have the guts to name it, and don't have the brains to realize that a good suspension does make a car fast. When turning. Which you have to do. A lot. You can't always drive in straight lines.

You (notice, you type out the *whole word*) are (whole word again, too tough of a concept for you) BLOCKED.

Again, anyone willing to provide a USEFUL answer, or is this board just populated by Trolls?

So either no one on the list owns a 2002 Camry, or those that do don't have a tape measure and 10 seconds to take a measurement?

I don'y own a 2002, but I do have a 1995 I put a strut brace on. The measurement top nut to top nut is 45". I bought a freedom design from JC Whitney for under $60. The rod ends have several inches of adjustment in them. The holes on my mounts weren't exact, so I wound up drilling and dremelling them to get a better fit. They came painted red, but after all the work that was shot, so I sprayed them Anthracite ( my new favorite). There was a lot of work to get them aligned and clearances right. The mounts are interchangeable left to right, and since they're off center. you can reposition the bar front or back a couple of inches. The car corners so much flatter now. Hope this helps.
