I want to install this traction bar setup (it says this is for a crx and he says there only 2 bolts on each side, is that right?)

How hard is it to remove the stock crossmembers on these old *** cars with hand tools and a descent 1/2" impact gun

Im thinking of getting a set of bars, but only if I wont have problems installing

Yea 2 bolts on each side. Shouldnt be that hard to get the stock one off. Spray the bolts with some pb blaster first. The tricky part is loosening/tightening the bolts that connect to your control arm since your strut is right there. You can just remove it and install should be a breeze.

 

I didnt even use any power/air tools. Just some wd-40 and hand tools.

yup the first time i did mine i used some man muscle. lol. well i had no choice.

 

Heres a tip,,put a jack under the crossmember to support it when you're taking the bolts off,,and use a long bar for leverage to get the bolts off..

Its really easy ,,Take the bolts off of the lca that hold on the radius arms then remove the bolts that hold the crossmember to the frame..

 

Anyone have a pic of how it cnnects to our car? its snowing here and I cant get to mine,I always though it was a sideways triagnel shape with 3 bolts on each side connecting them

So there isnt a huge problem removing them like out lca bolts? Fairly easy

 

bump

 

Can someone post a pic of where it bolts to ...... and has anyone tried the fullrace traction bars compared to this one?????

sometimes u gotta drop the shock fork off to be able to use an impact on the rod bolts. sometimes those are mad tite..

 

My radius rods are disconnected right now anyways, just did a suspension upgrade

 

It would appear that it mounts in the same place the OEM unit would. If so, where did you get that and how much was it?

TIA!

 

Its a local guy, he makes them for $250
