15520, Installing Strut Bar
Posted by BlakeW5, Feb-06-03 01:54 PM
What have you guys used to put your strut bars on with? I just ordered one, and it doesn't come with bolts. Do I need to use bolts, washers, and nuts, or can I use screws? Also, do I just bolt it down, on do I need to secure it from underneath the wheel well (I hope you see what I'm tryin to say).

for an upper strut tower bar, you use the exsisting (14mm?) bolts that hold part of the suspention together. mine crappy ebay bar did't come with any bolts either. washers are always a good idea, to make it so the thing doesn't bend or anything.

Yeah, you just unscrew the bolts that are already there, mount the plate and screw it back down. Real easy install.

Just keep in mind that when you adjust the bar, you want it to push the strut towers out.

Make sure car is flat on the ground then unbolt the 3 14mm bolts on upper strut damper unit and there u go. It takes no more than 15 min.
