first, its not called a strut rod (a strut rod, is the rod that is inside a strut).
Second, what you have is a front strut tower brace
3rd, I have no idea what other cars it will fit,

It only fit's 89-94 maxima. A similar style one sells on ebay new for under $20.

Rod, bar, brace... Toe-matoe, Ta-motto... :slap: for us smart ones we get it, for the peanut gallery there's a pic :dblthumb: and now that we've clarified that we can move on to the business at hand. The one i have appears to be adjustable I don't know if that makes a difference. Yes I looked at the ones on Ebay and at first glance it would seem that The Converted is correct but I'm not ready to give up yet.
Maybe you or someone you know thought outside the box and used it on something else. It is I believe 46.5in long tip to tip and strut towers typically have three bolts, so i would think it would jus be a matter of distance between towers. How many engine swaps have you seen or heard of, one would think if you can stuf an LS in a 240, Miata, etc.... anything is possible and there's gotta be a car with same or close to same specs you can use this on even if it may mean drilling new holes in the feet.

It's a $20 strut brace. If it doesn't fit the vehicle you have, throw it away, (recycle it), and buy another $20 one that does fit.

:rotflmao No attitude here although i do find myself perplexed at the resistance to what i thought was an easy question, where's the imagination ppl. :confused:
With all due respect if no one can come up with an Idea and those with nothing constructive to contribute

Yeah i know but i was more so jus asking to satisfy a curiosity. I think its kool when ppl think outside the box if it wasn't for that we would not even have the cars we do today.

Yep, adjustable, exactly like the one that is on ebay. Might it fit something else, maybe. Is there an easy way to find out short of finding the factory in china that made it, probably not. How much did you pick it up for at the junk yard? Not to much I hope.

PS, I fixed your font.
