    During a tour of TECHCO, engineers discuss their new strut tower cross link brace for Dodge Challenger, Charger, Magnum and Chrysler 300. The TECHCO Strut Tower Cross Link Brace offers both lateral and torsional chassis stiffinging in a well styled package. With a Billet Aluminum Strut Brace offering lateral support and Steel reinforced Cross Link triangulating to the Factory Cross Member your TECHCO Strut Tower Cross Link Brace offers the highest level of chassis stiffening and rigidity. The brace is available polished or satin for most 5.7L and 6.1L Dodge and Chryslers. TECHCO, "The Technology Company," is a new, niche automotive performance parts engineering and manufacturing company from former collaborators and employees of Saleen, Inc.

    I was hoping they would cover the 2 pivot points in the video. I know that their brace ties into the factory brace, but if one side can flex around that pivot point I'm not sure how effective it will be.

    The strut brace restrains the motion of the Strut Towers in the Lateral and Longitudinal directions. Each Strut tower has the potential to move indepentently (X-Y-Z) in the Forwards and Back motion (X direction), Side to Side (Y-Direction), and the Up and Down (Z-Direction). With our Strut Tower Cross Link Brace, the Side to Side motion (Y) is restrained by the Alumium Bar and the Steel Cross Link Triangulation Bar connected to the factory brace. The Forward and Back Motion (X) and the Up and Down (Z) are primarily restrained by the Steel Cross Link Triangulation Bar and to a lesser extent the Aluminum Bar.

    Thank you for the explanation! So you guys don't think (or haven't found) that limiting vertical motion (Z axis) is as important?
