aite here ya go.....ill go into brief detail, if you need more send me an email. It connects to two bolts under the body, however, they are very hard to reach. Jacking up your car isnt a good idea unless you have a proffessional lift because you can actually jump the car off the jacks getting the bolts off the suspension..So, what i did was back my car to the end of my driveway where there is a steep dropoff, i put the rear tires so they were just at the edge of the dropoff. This way i could reach the two bolts without having to lift the car off the ground. Look under the car and you will see two big nuts where the lowest suspension arm connects to the rear suspension carrier. Its not hard to figure out which bolts they are, u can just put the rear lower bar next to it to figure out which ones they are. Spray the bolts with alot of wd40 then let it sit for like 30 minutes. If you have a impact wrench, then use that to remove the nuts, if not, get a long socket wrench and use that..Remember, lefty loosy. Once you get the bolts off, place the tie bar between the bolts, then put the nuts back on. Make sure you get them tight because those bolts carry alot of weight. The whole process is pretty much common sense so you shouldnt have a problem.

I took it with me when I got my alignment done and they put it on for free.
