Strut tower bar for gen 3 camry v6

[cerragon07]

I've been looking ALL over the web, and the forum, but I have not been able to find a Strut tower bar for a gen 3 camry V6, i've found them for the 4cyl but thats it. Can someone help me out please?

I have the same one on my 5SFE camry. The finish isn't the best and the peaks of the bar rub on my hood liner a bit. The brackets are a bit cheap and very thin metal was used. For the money they are ok.

are these like universal fit for the gen 3?

I think they must be. When you tighten down the plates under the strut tower nuts the thin plate flexes pretty badly to comform to the Camry towers. The bar links are adjustable. If they were indeed designed for our cars alone, the fit leaves much to be desired. I consider these to be more of an aesthetic mod than a functional part.

The fit was good on the Coupe V6....I did have to install a couple of washers at each mounting point, bc the bar was hitting the intake manifold when the engine moved upward slightly on accelleration.

ASG14 pointed that out to me. Still doesn't hit the inside of the hood tho!

Could be that my hood liner has come down a bit. I should just pull it out.
