Street Bandit. Trans-Am style super heavy duty. Bolts to frame and to lower control arm to make the lower arm mount more rigid and limit camber changes. Designed using the original Trans-Am Boss 302 blueprints to correct dimensions and improved from the original, this bar is far stronger than the original design and provides more clearance for larger oil pans. Main tubes are 1 3/8 x .120 DOM seamless tube with 3/16 mild steel gusset plates. All this in a design that is similar to a roll bar and is far stronger than the original crossmember and will maintain proper dimensions while providing a more rigid mount for the lower control arm to limit flexing and camber changes. No loss of ground clearance over a stock crossmember. 5 1/4 tall. All required hardware to install is included with grade 8 bolts to mount the bar to the frame rails and the long bolts for mounting the control arm. This crossmember is our own special design that has been copied by others.
Note: This crossmember is made to original Ford dimensions for the frame and control arm mounting points. Any differences between this bar mounting to the intended car are issues with the car and like an export brace or Monte Carlo bar, the car will need to be adjusted to fit the bar, thereby correcting any issues the car body may have experienced in its lifetime.

The design of this crossmember is excellent and very strong but the bolt holes that connect to the frame vary on every vehicle.Some bolt holes in the frame vary from 29 3/8” to 29.5” in length. The crossmember was to short and measures a little less than 29.25” so it wouldn’t fit. I had to return the product and have a custom one made.

I saw where several people had commented about the item not fitting. I found the item needed to be installed loose, with a little manipulation to get all the bolts started, only then was I able to tighten all the bolts to install it. If you are considering this part because you need additional power steering hose clearance where the hoses contact the factory crossmember this item creates about 1 inch extra clearance. I was fighting aftermarket headers/exhaust limiting the space and was able to bend the metal part of the hoses to clear the frame and exhaust on both the full right and full left turn angle using this part.

Well built, easy installation, nice finish. I did add grade 8 flat washers to distribute the load of the supplied mounting bolts. Much more robust than the factory unit.

This thing made the car feel super solid and steady. Huge upgrade. Front end feels locked down. I didn’t notice very much difference with an export brace or Monte Carlo bar…but this piece is a game changer.
