Default Installing a strut bar

I am just curious to know if it is as simple as it looks? Just unscrew the two nuts on each strut and the place strut bar, and then screw nuts back on. Is this all?

It's gonna be a bitch installing a strut bar.


You do realize we don't have struts, do you?

drill it and take a chisel and break the sucker off. then use a fine file to clean up the threads and use a new nut. better safe than sorry 'cause i'd rather not have something funked up with my suspension system...

lol I infact did a tutorial on this... but it is really simple... undo nuts, and undo the bolts on the brace itself to allow flex in the mounts. then bung on, torque to 49Nm and then tighten the brace bolts as well...

I installed the J's Racing Brace
