Vibrant REAR Strut bar..Install!
Thursday, August 03, 2006 6:31 PM
I've got both the front and rear Vibrant Strut bar, the front one, went on with no problems, and I'm happy with it. OK

Now, the rear unit is another story, and I need to know how it goes on?

1. Do I need extra bolts with it? - 1 more per side
2. It came with no instructions!!!!!! - Where can I find some?
3. The brackets have to bolt holes on them, yes I see where they go, but how to hold them down..?
4. They came from Turbo-Tech racing, not E-Bay...very strange.

Not a reeal big deal, I know...just looking for a little help.

Thanks.

my vibrant bar came with a set of nuts, you just add the bar and the new nuts to the top of your rear strut towers. don't remove anything. you may need to adjust the length of the bar as well. does that make sense?

X2, however iff need be you can remove the 1 bolt on each side and the 2 bolts from underneath, and just put the bar on and reverse the order you took the hardware out .

No extra nuts came with the rear bar!

Anyone know what size the nuts need to be!

Thanks again for the help

stock size bolts will work just fine.

yes, pull one of your stockers off and take it to ACE or wherever, get 4 more, install, then chew out Turbo-Tech because it should have come with them

I talked to Turbo Tech(Aaron?) - he said I needed no nuts, that the rear bar goes in with just the bolts no nuts?

Now I'm really confused! They said no nuts or bolts should come with it, and no instructions either!

You need to either shim it up with washers (one bolt per side) or buy two extra nuts. They are a metric 10m with fine thread I belive. I used the washers, and it worked perfectly.

I got it on with the washers and a nut on each side, worked good!

Thanks for all the help, it is much appreciated.

It would be fine with either the Pacesetter, or the Tsudo, or any other ones you could think of, 4-1, or 4-2-1, would not matter...plenty of room.

Pictures will follow soon.....front and rear.
