Rear lower strut brace (4th gen)

Post by JuvUK1 » Fri Jan 22, 2016 11:18 am

Hi all,

I got a rear lower brace for my 4th gen and it doesn't seem to fit, it seems to be too long. This is the one I bought

does anyone have a picture of one of these fitted to a 4th gen?



thanks in advance Juvuk

Are you trying to fit it to a car with 4WS? If so that will not work. On cars with 4WS there is no rear subframe, instead there is the 4WS motor. The lower brace fits onto the lower arm bolts. On the 4WS motor there is no room to fit a lower brace.
