2-Point Rear Upper Strut Bar

The Ultra Racing URUS-RE2-2386 is a 2-point rear upper strut bar specifically designed for the Scion XD (XP110) 1.8 2WD, model years 2008 through 2014. This performance enhancement aims to combat the inherent flex and deformation of a vehicle's chassis, which is particularly exacerbated by the forces generated during rapid cornering, hard braking, and aggressive acceleration. During dynamic driving, weight transfer can impose significant stress on the chassis, potentially causing a substantial difference in force experienced by different sides of the vehicle. This stress can lead to chassis flex and twisting, resulting in a loss of tire grip and undesirable handling characteristics such as understeer and oversteer. The Ultra Racing strut bar functions by reinforcing the upper rear strut towers, effectively reducing this chassis flex and improving the vehicle's stability and responsiveness. Installation typically involves bolting the bar between the upper strut mounts in the rear of the vehicle, a process that can often be performed with basic hand tools. The 2-point design connects two critical points of the chassis to provide structural rigidity where it is most needed. This particular strut bar is confirmed to fit the Scion XD (XP110) 1.8 2WD model from 2008 to 2014. Ensure your vehicle matches these specifications to guarantee proper fitment and optimal performance benefits.
