WARRANTY
Each product comes with a unique serial number found on the silver tag. This is for authentication.
All products are backed by a 5 year manufacturing warranty from the date you received your products. Warranty covers welds and metal snaps. If products are re-powder-coated a color other than our company color of white, warrantying may be on either a case-by-case basis or voided.
If you live in an area that sees snow, warranty is limited to 1 year.
MUST READ BEFORE PURCHASING: Bracing has been designed to fit stock vehicles with no aftermarket modifications. Vehicles with high mileage, body damage, or old age may have chassis flex that will cause mounting points for bracing to not line up perfectly. Modification may be needed for bracing to line up perfectly. If you are unsure about fitment, please email us.
ATTENTION: IF APPLICABLE, PLEASE EXPAND THE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TAB AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE BEFORE PURCHASING.
Rear Strut Bar - also known as a “rear strut tower brace,” this bar connects to the top of the rear strut towers, preventing the chassis from flexing during cornering. It makes the chassis more rigid, resulting in better handling by preventing the strut towers from flexing, also helping with shock tower loads and equally dispersing force through the chassis.
What makes Ultra Racing rear strut bars unique?
Consumers choose our rear strut bars over the multi-pieced, flexible designed rear strut bars made by other companies because our rear strut bars come in a one-piece design that provides more rigidity and overall performance compared to a rear strut bar that is multi-pieced. By installing an Ultra Racing rear strut bar, your vehicle will experience less chassis flex, better handling over road bumps and through corners, and our one-piece design will never need to be adjusted, tightened, or risk failing from moving parts like the multi-piece design of other companies.
Made from ASTM A500 Grade A (American US Standard Mild Steel)
All materials used are carefully selected to ensure the best performance and safety. The brackets are made of 4MM to 5MM steel plates, while the hollow steel tubes and oval tubes are of 1.2MM to 1.6MM thickness. These materials' thicknesses ensure the bars are rigid and strong to maintain constant geometry at all times, yet safe enough to crumble during an impact.

BEFORE VS AFTER A REAR STRUT BAR | ||
BEFORE Part of the shock from impact transfers to the chassis, causing wheel housing and lower arm deformation. | AFTER Once equipped with an Ultra Racing strut bar, the shock from impact will be neutralized on both sides. | |
WHILE ENTERING A CORNER | ||
BEFORE The weight transfer and force gathers on one side, causing unstable handling and an increase in body roll. | AFTER Once equipped with an Ultra Racing strut bar, body roll decreases which evens out weight transfer. The car is now stabilized through turns and has better handling. |
