I wrecked my si, and bent my upper tie bar. The year is a 99. If I buy a new upper tie bar, take out the busted headlights, front clip, radiator, etc... till all i basically have is the tie bar, can this be unbolted and replaced or is it spot welded? Any help would be cool.

 

its welded

 

Huh?

 

 

Damn, for all the people who didnt understand. GF rear ended a car, the front end tie bar is bent, has to be replaced, if i take off the front bumper, headlights, anything holding to the tie bar, is it welded or bolted?

thanks for the reponse dniedacess

 

It's bolted by the shock tower. I am assuming you mean the upper strut bar, not the upper tie bar... There is a lower tie bar.

No actually Tie bar....... the steel part that runs the length of the front of the car...

The bar that the headlight SHOULD be connected to.

Yes the core support is welded.
