This is my DIY lower tie bar. It took me about 3 hours to build. It attaches to the 2 holes above the lower control arm bolts. Many think that ground clearance will be a problem but it is not. Let me know what you think.

Overall view of the bar.


The plate that the bar is attached to the car with.

 

It does look real low. Why not make it straighter, shorter, (stronger maybe)?

 

you hit ANYTHING and your subframe is FUCT!

 

what kind of metal is that made out of!!??? looks liek ******* pig iron or someshit dude...lol

thats going to suck when you hit a bump...

 

I'm utterly confused as to what you were thinking.

 

not to sound like a hater or anything, but that looks like ****... my .02

 

that seriously looks dangerous.

 

Damn guys.... I was trying to be nice.

 

Well Im gonna go ahead and give the guy props for making his own **** and not buying it. But I will also say sand the dang thing and paint it up and call it a day. It may need to be shortened so it wont touch the ground.

Not to thread jack or anything... but here is one that I fabbed up for a friend. It can be made VERY inexpensively... Hit me up if you want any help or suggestions.



Its amazing how so many people can't even find one good thing to say... Didn't your mother ever tell you... If you don' t have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!!!!!

Good job and don't get discouraged!!!

Remember that the intent is to tie the inner ends of the lower control arms together. Running the bar directly across will make it more effective, lighter, and will reduce any ground clearance issues.

Same thing I was thinking... but for the effort

 

rust is the new gunmetal

 

that tie bar would compliment my hood locks. dont you think?

 

Damn. I has people go to far with ****. but damn he took it to far. Good job.OWND

 

 

Guess I won't try to build anything anymore since it is apparent that I should just buy everything. So much for trying...

 

One thing that maybe you didnt realize, is that those are the holes for a Rear sway bar, a much more effective modification to the suspension.

As for your fab, just try and do a straight bar for the lca bolts. And this time take your time after test fitting it, and finish it properly. (Sand, Prime, paint)

Yeah true...actually it is back to the drawing board i just bought a set of sway bas and that bar will be in the way, so when i get the new one made i will paintit and will post some pics up if you guys want. Thanks for all the input and ideas everyone gave me. If there are any more ideas out there let me know...Those hood locks are kinda growing on me...

dont give up! practice,practice,practice and you will get it soon enouph...
i am in no way trying to sound bad but next time dont post it on here without thinking really hard what the outcome will be. i give you much respect for attempting to build this yourelf and posting it. pm me and i will help you out a little then after you do your next one maybe you will get a better response.

 

It just that it hangs really low and would be really easier to catch it on something and would rip off your subframe it you made contact with it. just get rid of the two bars on the sides that put it down closer to the ground and just make it straight across.

 

WHAT EXACTLY IS THAT THING GOING TO DO EXCEPT SCRAPE,MAKE IT STRAIGHT ACROSS MAN.
