Default Trunk bar

Anyone know where to find the bars that hold the trunk open on a 02 Stratus R/T coupe? thanks

No problem. You were talking about the torsion bars right? With the bends and stuff that support the trunk to be open I assumed. They arent too bad to put in. I had one snap on me one day, I browsed forums and the net and couldnt find anything, so I bit the bullet and went to the dealer. Much cheaper than I expected.

Have you tried car-part.com? Its a junkyard search for your area. Even though they wont list that part specifically, you will be able to track down a few coupes. I cant imagine that part is in high demand. Chances are its not even in the local junkyards system and you will get it for next to nothing.
