[africanmarty]

finally my front strut brace arrived from over seas, i installed it but i coudnt put both of the connecting nuts on ( it woudnt fit ) so i put one on and it fits fine, i am going to buy a thinner nut with the same thread size ( so i will had nuts on both sidez ) tomorrow. its stays still and does not move,wobble atm. so it should be fine to wait till tomorrow. Here some pics: (click on thumbnail for a bigger pic)

different strut bar ?

[JetspeedCamry]

The width between US and Aus is no different.

Exactly the same strut bar.

[africanmarty]

well thats how mine turen out, no other way to installed it, simply fixed with a thinner nut with same thread size, BTW do they make rear strut bars for the gen2 camrys ?

If you get a thinner nut for both sides it looks like you will have enough thread there. Strange though. Looks good, where did you get that Marty?

if you want a rear strut bar.. you'd have to lose your rear speakers and deck

The rear deck already acts like a rear strut bar... no need to add one.

I have the same front strut bar on my Camry and I had the same issue... I just cut a bit off the bar itself (to make more room for the nut) and it works fine that way. Of course, now the 3s-gte in the car gets in the way of the bar...

No sympathy here. That's a problem everyone would like to have.
