It came out of a 2000 Impala, and it fits great :D I haven't driven it yet, so I don't know if it'll make much of a difference, but for $15, I don't really care if there isn't.

I'm thinking about going back next week and getting one off a 2004 Impala LS (different shape) to go in the rear.

looks like it was made for it. a little surprised being from a wbody it fit yours

Mt ignorance is pathetic but what is a STB?

The Century is a wbody too (even though its basically the lovechild of the w and n bodies lol). But yeah, if went on real easy. The only big difference under the hood of the Impala and Century is that the Impala has the 3400 while the Century has the 3100, and both motors are the same size and in the same location.

Apparently the regal came factory with it (higher trim level/packages) and the Century shares 90% of its body with the regal. It even had the holes in the towers for the bolts, even though some Centuries in the JY (2003 and 2004) didn't have those holes..

Strut tower bar/brace. It just goes from one strut tower to the other to help reduce body flex in turns

I was wondering if thats what it was. Thanks for the Clarification. Take Care.

thought it would be like ga's and cierras, narrower.

Nope, it just has the same weak 3100 as the Malibu, just in a Regal body with different bumpers
