    You know how the creeks over every little bump . This helps tie the left to the right to eliminate that . There's a flexy stamped steel one on the oem position . You replace it with this elequent machined alumimun one and bam brand new Prius .

    Unless you like to rip around corners there's really no need for one of these. I'd rather use the money on gas, $100 bucks would last me a couple of months.

    @Fore . was your comment even necessary? This is an ad in the for sale section. Not-what would you do with $100.00. All of us here own a Prius to save on gas.

    I own the part and its worth every penny. Whoever buys this is getting a deal and will be happy with the results. Good luck on the sale.

    It's just another "arbitrary and capricious" comment made by an individual who has had no experience or even tried the device in question.

    In this case, it is a reflection of a judgmental, an UNINFORMED, and CLOSED mind.

    This is the basic definition of prejudice.

    Actually, it is designed for normal driving stability, NOT high speed cornering.

    Prii, starting with the Gen II and with the Gen III are well known to have excessive flex in the chassis.

    Toyota recognized this in 2012 and quietly switched to a stiffer tubular center brace.

    If it didn't help, do you think Toyota would have reenginered and manufactured it and fitted it to their cars? ;)
