alright guys i have a strong bar going into my eg aka trunk bar but this set up uses all 4 bolts in the trunk near the hathc on a 92 hb..... i took of all 4 and started to put the bar in i got 2 of the bolts on the right side but the left side wont go in......... an anyone help? any suggestion on what i should do to make them work

 

try turning the bar around, sometimes it will only fit one way, or try getting both sides on at the same time..sometimes one side at atime doesnt leave enough clearance to get the opposite side on...

 

So this would be a shock tower bar, I beleive?

If you tightened down the bolts on the one side before threading the others, that could be your problem. Just get all 4 threads started, then tighten each one a little at a time to make sure it's ligned up correctly.

 

I heard when you're installing bars, you SHOULDN'T jack up the car, but in this case, go ahead and jack your car up off the ground and try installing it.

I think you're confusing 'trunk' bar with a sway bar. People say that so there won't be any pre-load; but I have no idea how they install a bar under the car with it jacked up. If your endlinks are adjustable, preload can be adjusted anyway.

If he was to take the tophat nuts off, then jack the car up, the shocks would drop out and be a major PITA; not to mention, this would not help the install any.

 

this is the trunk bar...... the one that goes over the spare wheel well right behind it.... on the eg hb there are 4 bolts back there that the "benen" bar bolts down to..... but i got the right side on but cant get the left to go in,.............. iam gonna try to reverse it and see if it works............. any more suggestions?

 

here are the pics if they help anyone kno if the benen bars came with tehre own bolts and what not? or can i even use the stock bolts in the trunk? and if i need longer ones where can i purchase them? i tried hardware stores and pep boys they dont carry 18mm bolts and honda wnats like 4 bucks a bolt anyways here are the picks if u kno anything or kno an easier way let me kno plzz this thing is buggin the **** out of me





i also tried reversing it and still no luck...... the threads aren't gone because when i remove the bar the bolts go back in so i dont kno wtf is the problem

 

when i made mine (dc) the bolts will only go in if they are EXACTLY at a 90 degree angle (the bolt and chasis) that could be a problem
