I wasnt sure where to put this so here it is.

I got a set of strut bars cheap enough for me to buy them. There are used so no instructions, doh. Here is a pic, can someone tell me where/how to install them correctly? Thanks

 

uhh...?

alright well if you just look at the top of your suspension (where it mounts to the shock tower) you will see there are two nuts...undo them, put the strut bars over the studs, then fasten the nuts ontop of them... As for the c pillar bar, if thats what it is, then undo the bolt keeping your seatbelt like top point onto ur car, and then put the cpillar bar moutn there and use that bolt. IF its a lower tie bar put it in between where ur rear lower lcas go to ur frame.

 

those look like a rear/front strut bar and rear lower tie bar. when installing strut bars it's easier if you have the tires off the ground.

this one looks like it goes to rear bottom

this one rear in trunk
</TD></TR></TABLE>
and this one is front tower check the measurments also


correct me if im wrong

 

In the first picture, the top one is the rear upper strut, 2nd is the front upper strut, last is the rear lower tie (most likely).

To install them, remove bolts, put on bar, put bolts back on @ specified torque specs for those bolts.

 

I know how the front will go. Anyone got a pic of the rears?

 

You'll have to cut into the plastic or the carpet (whatever is covering the shock tower) and it will be exactly like installing a front upper strut bar.

 

if you look at the dtrut, you will see where they go

Rear lower tie bar (worthless)


Front Strut Bar


Rear Strut Bar

So it will run through the inside of the trunk correct?

Yes. But it will run above the floor, probably 4-6 inches so if it's a grocery getter or you have a lot of things in the trunk, be prepared to have that bar in the way. It doesn't sit all the way towards the seat either.

 

I tried to put my new rear strut tower bar on and it wouldn't fit. I was pissed. Then I figured out to jack the back up so the wheels are off the ground and it fit like a charm. Might be the same for the front too.?...

Ok, my subs are in the way. Its time to build a box flush in the floor where the spare should go anyways.

Thanks guys.

Yep, probably going to be the same for the front.
