I fitted a front lower subframe brace to the Avalon from Ultra Racing. I used the XV50 Camry model which fits precisely. It works as described. Sharper turn in when cornering was the first sign that things had changed. Then less chassis shudder driving over expansion strips. It is smoother over rough road, brakes seem sharper and it rolls less when cornering. Perhaps a 20% improvement overall. This weekend I will fit a strut brace. After that a trunk brace. I am pleased with the result so far.
When I was fitting the brace, I was expecting the two aft subframe bolts to be tight. They were barely more than finger tight! Something to check when doing an oil change. A recent TSB recommends 80ft-lbs torque.
