As many of you know alot of us that have our rear oem struts and installed an aftermarket rear sway bar have had the end link tab on the strut break. I have the Progress bar but others that have the ARK & RRM have had the same experience.

As you can see, these reinforcing plates are welded to the tab on the strut and not the strut itself. Proof that this can be done safely. This has been fitted and tested on 03's and should fit 04-06's.
Material: 1/8" (.125) 1018 Cold Rolled Steel
Price: $29 per set shipped Priority Mail.
Paypal is preferred: rickna@optonline.net
Arraingements can be made for me to do the welding, however shipping to and from could be costly. NY Tri-State & New England, I can do it for you at my house! PM me for any details you need.
