Default Ok, HOW do you install Tie bar?

Yep, it should be the easiest thing to install but that's what's not done on my car yet. What came with the bar (it's a no name brand one) is the bar and two nuts that replace the control arm nuts. BUT, the problem is, it seems as if I need a spacer on this nut or something to stick between the fram and the bar. Otherwise the bar sits right next to the frame and things interfere such as #1 and #2 in the pic. I'm pretty sure I'm just missing pieces but wanted to see what you guys think who've installed a tie bar. Thanks!

mine is horizontal, it would rub in the middle if it moved, but it dos not. ie.. if there was a sticker on the bar it would either be flat against the body of the car or could only be read if you were directly under the car.

theres two points in the "frame" if you wanna call it that like two little flaps of left over material from the frame that stick out get a decent size pair of pliers or vice grips and bend the two tabs downward and or bend and break them off...ill try and get you a better pic if its not cold outside.... cold brings out the lazy in me.
