wususp fellas, juss wondering, but it is it realy that easy to install a skunk 2 rear lower tie bar? i know u have to un bolt the the bolts from either side from the back but dang, that shiets on hella tyte...would it be easier if i removed the wheels? also, if anybody has a skunk2 RLT...it comes with 4 metal peices, whats the correct way to stick these on?

 

the wheels can stay on the car, and as for the 4 little metal pieces, the two thickers ones go on facing the cars subframe then you put the skunk2 lower on those then the smaller ones go onto the skunk2 lower tie bar, then your bolt would go through all of that holding them all together like a big happy family. And yes your lca bolts are going to be really tite, becareful not to break them

 

okay, so as for the thicker/larger bolts peices, when u stick it in the subframe, is it the "smaller side" of the larger bolt that goes in the subframe or is it the larger end that goes in the subframe so the tie bar can fit nicely on the smaller end....hah sorry im im cofusing u....ie.

o <~~~~~~~~~~~bolt from subframe (unscrew first)

/_\ <~~~~~~~~~~~then this smaller end, "larger piece from S2RLT" goes
in the subframe

o===o <~~~~~~~~~~~then tie bar goes on...

/_\ <~~~~~~~~~~~then smaller peice....than the large bolt...


OR........

O <~~~~~~~~~~~ bolt from subframe (unscrew first)

\-/ <~~~~~~~ ~~~the larger side of the larger peice goes in the subframe
so the tie bar can fit nicely on the small side.....is it step
one or step 2?

 

subframe here.

also dont not use a numatic air gun... use a wrench or socket wrench with a breaker bar

Agreed. I got mine off with 1/4 inch ratchet with an adapter, and my jack handle.

I was surprised it worked quite well. (was about to try anything)

 

why can't you use an air gun?

it might break the lca bolt, it is pretty common

actually if its gonna break, its gonna break.

the lca bolt has been broken with wrenches and breaker bars just the same

yes

 

Wont the bolt have a greater tendency to get seized inside the rubber bushing in the LCA? In my case the bolts didnt snap, they warped and thank god I had extra GSR LCA's lyin around.

 

Not sure what car your driving but heres a 96-00. i am sure just by looking at the pictures you can figure it out.
