Need to know how wide a load bar the racks will accommodate (distance between the bolts that hold the rack to the load bar) or if anyone has mounted them successfully to a Taurus GL wagon factory rack.

Up to and including 3 and 1/2 inches in width. I don't know about the Taurus factory rack.

I used the stock u-bolts and didn't run into any fit issues. I would recommend using jack stands (or wood blocks) to support the rear of the frame and a jack to raise and lower the axle. This way you can lift up the new springs making ubolts easier to remount and tighten.

I have a Subaru Forester with similar aero bars (also 2.5 inches wide, oval shape) and the carrier attaches with plenty of width to spare (bars could be almost an inch wider with no problem).

I own this unit. It is 159" long and 55" wide without any attachments. It is 72" wide with the Malone Auto Racks crossbars installed. Hope this is a help to you. Have a good one.

the length of the bars on my bike are about 16 inches, that's enough space for one set of racks (two rifles). If you have twice the space you may be able to mount the second set. Hope this helps, good luck, be safe.

Hi, Go to the Rhino Rack web page and look up the instructions for the rack you are looking at. That will have the bar length and attachment description. If the bar length is right for your truck when you measure it, it should be fine. The racks have fixed bar lengths and you can't cut them so it is critical that you find the length you want.

When I was putting it on the back bar didn't align perfectly. That said, if you put all the bolts in loosely and tighten them you will not have a problem. I wouldn't let this issue stop you from buying the racks, but I was glad I knew about it when I was putting them on. They look so much better than the other general fit crossbars that are out there.

Measure your bars. The space between the clamp bolts is 3-1/2", so the bars can be no wider than that. If the bars are round, the clamping bolts will allow the bracket to clamp to a 1-7/8" tube. Flat bars can be 1-1/4 x 3-1/2". The carriage bolts that clamp the bracket can be exchanged for longer ones for thicker carrier bars, but these are pretty generous. I see that they bare practically giving these away. Sure beats $140 for Thule cradles!

The best wat to answer this is to read the Min/Max distance allowable between the the rails mounted on your car. In the Specifications section of the product. A tape measure is required. If the distance between your rails fall in the range mentioned in the specs page, then they will fit (these adjust quite a bit) All-and-all these are great and hold a good amount of weight. These make a little bit of wind noise, but find me a roof rack add-on that doesn't. I have also made a 1/4 turn adjustment because its winter. This roof rack is one of the best purchases I have made in a long time.

The OEM crossbars on my Subaru failed and the J-racks were undamaged. Worry about the strength of your car and crossbars, that will be the limiting factor. I was carrying a 13 foot 2 seat sit-on-top that weighed 1/2 of Subaru's 150 lb. limit when the bars bent. I'm still using the J-racks.

I have a Toyota with factory racks that are wide and flat but my friend has a rack with round bars and she has the same Malone Wings. We both loves these mounts as they are so easy to use and work with any size kayak. They don't work with canoes just so you know but we both have sots and sit ins of various sizes and these mounts work with all our kayaks. The only thing I don't care for are the straps so I use NRS straps but other than that these are great! They screw down I would say on most any size racks unless the cross bar is exceptionally large and hold your boat very secure. Hope this helps.

Johnny, Don't have those dimenions as I have added saddle bags and not convenient to measure. However I can tell you that I matched up the front mounting holes and the rear holes were about 2" off. I marked and drilled those holes (on the sissy bar mount not the bike frame) out myself and it fit just fine. This was the best priced one I could find. Reasonable price for the quality you are getting. A heavier made bar would be a lot more expensive.

I have them on Ibera racks. I think you have to like at the thickness of the bars on the racks. My co worker put some styrofoam on the bars and they fit fine for her. I hope that helps.

Hi! The rack I bought fit the factory holes . You could mesure them if you wanted to before buying one? I had my garage man install it for me!

Mine wer mounted on a set of factory flat bars and work perfectly. I think you would have to try Malones Web site for a better answer.

The front cross bar fit absolutely perfectly. The rear cross bar was not a perfect fit. The only way I can describe the fitment is it almost looked as if the rear rail was warped. One screw hole on each end of the bar was about a quarter inch bent in. When you put the screw through the cross bar and then the existing rail, the "warped fitment" is pulled out and sits flush. It's odd that it would lay that way initially, but the problem is corrected once the the screws are in place.

Yes it will fit. The cradle will sit on top of your bars, then there are two bolts that go through each side of the cradle these go through a plate that secures the cradle to the bar. For really thick bars like the Thule aerobars I have, longer bolts were required. I think the set that comes with the cradles will be sufficient for your rack.
