Name of brace you put in your floorboard?

Question

My husband was given a brace for his car, and he doesn't know what it's called. It's aftermarket, installs in your floorboard, goes from one side to the other, and has a hump in the middle of it to go over the driveshaft. His friend called it a "body bar" but I can't find anything online about it. Anyone know what this thing is called?

Answer 1

sounds like secondary crossmember, or possibly a full width driveshaft loop. iirc, chassis certs 25.1 require that kind of stuff, on my street car i would consider it overkill x 3!!!

Answer 2

Please name the brand year and model of car as there are several types. Most likely it's for a uni-body car which has no real stiff frame rails running the entire length of the car.

It's purpose in general is to prevent body and frame twist not allowing the suspension to do more work instead of a flimsy body where suspention movements are soaked up before anti-roll bars, shocks, struts and springs do their best to make the car handle well.

Answer 3

This sounds like just what you called it.A brace.If I understand you correctly it sounds like the brace for the floorpan that runs underneath the floorpan from framerail to framerail.I am not aware of any other reference to said part.
