Default STB, why doesn't my car have one?

I was wondering why my Dale Jr. car doesn't have one of these when almost every other monte I see has one? Did they quit putting them on in 2004?

also, do they make a lot of difference on the Monte's? I put one on my 92 Cavalier RS that I took off of a Z24 and I really didn't notice any difference. Thanks.

...Are you the original owner ? Maybe someone stole it ? or the previous owner removed it & put it on another one of his Monte's ?

I thought your edition had them 4-Sure...

I think the STP adds alot to the handling of a Monte Carlo or
any vehicle...

I would check with who your purchased your Monte Carlo From....Keep us updated, and check back on your thread to see what other member's with your Model post...
Good Luck from `Space : )

The STB bolts on with the existing hardware on the car. I'm not sure about 04 but they definitely stopped putting them on with the 05s.

My 04 Dale Jr Ed did not come with one from the factory.

I checked mine and it does not have holes for the STB. I'm not sure why they didn't put one on this car especially since it has the FE4 suspension.

I would personally recommend the BMR strut tower braces. Much beefier and unlike all the other options out there they are adjustable.
