I know this has been talked about on here before but they are very old posts and I am now doing the work.
I need to replace my strut towers on my 95 Talon ESI they have holes in them. I talked to my uncle he works at a chrysler dealership and they no longer sell the strut tower replacements does anyone know where I could get ahold of a set? Also does anyone know if they have to be out of my exact car if I was to cut some out of a car? What models have the same strut towers?

Anyway thanks in advance

If I'm following what you're explaining you need PNC 40418. That is part number MR103156. Should be able to find one from a donor car, junkyard, or go to the dealer and buy brand new.

I contributed to the Wiki.

no, he is looking for the metal that rusts out. you know like Haz's towers are rotting away. if they are no longer sold, you may have to fabricate replacement patch panels. Many cars in the junkyards are going to be shot as well.

Is the car really worth saving?

Anyway, strut towers off of a 95-00 Dodge Avenger and 95-00 Chrysler Sebring coupe are the exact same as the 95-99 Eclipse/Talon.

If your good with a welder, you could fab something up for that pretty easily. Out of the three talons ive had, two had rusted through in the same spot. The one i have now is still flawless thanks to rustproofing haha.

Thank you mobil one for rust proofing my driveway.

Those are beyond patch panels...wow they are the worst i have seen. This is going ot be a very tricky repair.....if its not right your alignment will be screwwed.

You may be better off finding a set from a junkyard in the south someplace that arent as bad as yours.

Those are terrible.

You're going to sink so much money into it or get rid of it asap. Watch.

Goodnight sweetheart...yes its time to go...bum bum bum bum bum...good night sweetheart yes I am one little a$$hole......bum bum bum bum....

That thing has parts car written all over it. I live in Canada and I've never seen towers that bad.

95 Talon ESi-T

Ball joints indeed.

You're entire suspension probably needs a full workover. I have a little over 120,000 miles on my factory shocks. The rear dampers would not extend after we compressed the damper rod with them off the car. All spring. Alot of my ball joints are rotting away and need replacement VERY soon. Stupid rubber rot.....

Comforting.


Our cars are cursed from the factory!!!!


People are so scared to ride in my car. It has nothing to do with my driving habbits or it being fast. They're so worried it's going to keel over mid-trip.

Chrysler parts direct still sells these parts so i have no idea how you claim they are not available anymore.

Wow, I thought I was looking at some pictures from an old Russian village.

You know, whole 2g shells go for like $500 sometimes. Putting $400 into repairing the towers seems a little nutty. I totally support repairing and restoring 2g's, but some need to just be put out of their misery.

Its too bad, all the ones i cut up and parted out had perfect towers. Had i have known then what I know now........

Looks like ima go through this same situation with my towers. I was thinking about fabricating some sort of brace with tubular steal pieces to reinforce them. Anything I can do without taking the engine out is my goal.

Ill get some pics of mine in a min.

Well Here is the news guys my body guy has looked at my car and given me a qoute he said he can do the work with the engine in place and the car running. He is going to charge me $200 for the work and I can get a good tower for $65. the passenger side he said isnt rusted through all the way so he can patch it. the driver side is the only side that needs a replacement. so I guess I got lucky. I am in the process of rebuilding my engine and once I get the thing put back together and get it running im going to have the strut towers worked on.
