I'm browsing online looking for strut bars, and I was wodnering how much a stock GM one is? just as a comparison of prices?
It's a 98 Cav 2door with the 2200 and cruise control.
I was happy when I heard my car ran 10s. Then I found out that was 0-60.
$60shipped.. off www.GMpartsdirect.com
GM PART # 22604347

22604347 is the bar with no cruise control mount, one bolt to the firewall
22642387 is the bar with a cruise control mount off the passenger tower, one bolt to firewall
there's a third number.... used on convertibles (obviously) that had two bolts to the firewall... because i saw one on a 98 Sunfire vert the other day... no idea on the part number...

Im a Xbox 360 fanboy...and damn proud of it!!
^^ thats true, forgot to mention that. You can also find em off any 3gen(95+) convertible car.. around here i have no luck finding any verts tho..
with any of the three work with the ecotec engine? i read some where there was clearence issues with the computer
i have a vert that im parting out. didnt even realize it had the strut bar. gonna put it on my new j. glad i read this post
got mine for 15 from a junkyrad
$10 from a j-yard here... They originally wanted $30 when I called to find out if they had a vert in the yard. When I pick-n-pulled it, I just called it a "non-critical engine brace" and got the price break.
48.50 from GMpartsdirect.com for me,. shipped to my door. It was definatly worth it. it only took 5 minutes to put on, while smoking a ciggarette and talking on my cell phone also
will these work on the 95-97 2.2

ha same here.. i called and they wanted $45 for it.. went there brought it in and they asked what it was and told them it was just to help support the struts together.. said $10 so i took it lol $3 paint and she was ready to install.
When the wrecker doesn't know what a part is, they'll generally let you have it dirt cheap.
If it had value to them, they'd know what it was and inventory it for general sale. If not, then it's just taking up space in the yard so if they can get a few bucks and have you take it away for them, everyone's happy.
How do these work when you have the CC module on the firewall? Do they clear it or does it have to be "adjusted"?
Knowledge about everything and yet an expert of nothing!!
Jack of all trades.

The vert I yanked this one from had the cruise on the passenger tower and 2 bolts on the firewall...

If the car you are yanking it from has the cruise module on the strut tower, pull the bracket and relocate it.

what if the CC module didn't have a bracket? just mounted straight to the strut tower? thats how mine was. i was able to squeeze the bracket for the CC module thats on the strut bar between the CC and the strut tower barely. but i don't like how the CC module is attached.

What you know about Street Racing anyways? Only what Fast & Furious taught us....
SO EVERYTHING!
I think the Eco bracket should work since its a single bolt rather than a dual as in my pic above.
Bringin it back...
I have an eco with cruise. #22642387 is the bar with a cruise control mount off the passenger tower, right? However, its not on the GMPartsDirect.com website. So is it still around? Should I go to the dealer and see if they have it or should I order the #22604347 bar and will it still work with the cruise and ecu?
i've got the 4 point mouting strut bar, with cruise bracket, paid $60 i think for it, and looks great
