Toyota | GR Strut Bar Front | GR Yaris

The Toyota GR Strut Bar 53607-52040 is the original front strut tower bar from the GR program for the Toyota GR Yaris GXPA16. It connects the two front strut towers, thereby stiffening the area between the mounts of the MacPherson front axle.

Unlike a universal aftermarket strut, this is an original Toyota component. This allows the appearance in the engine bay to remain in keeping with the original GR condition.

More support for the front axle

The strut bar connects the two front strut towers to each other. Toyota describes the purpose of the bar as reducing deformation in the upper area and thereby supporting the function of the front axle under load.

This is particularly interesting for the GR Yaris when the vehicle is driven in a sporty manner, has suspension modifications, or is frequently driven on winding roads. The strut does not change the actual spring or damper settings, but rather stiffens the connection between the two strut mounts.
