Strut tower brace - Rear
Monday, April 09, 2007 1:21 PM
Hey yall, I just got my group purchase Vibrant strut tower braces in today. I hear on the rear bar that you have to put the brace on top of the existing nuts and just use new lockwashers and nuts on it. Also, I can just keep the car on the ground and break lose the front nuts/bolts without any worries while installing the front bar right?

What is yalls input on this matter?

front bar can be added and removed without jacking up the car, and yes on the rears.

does this mean you have to jack the car up when installing the rear bar?

what makes everyone think they need to jack up the car to install strut tower bars???

you crawl in the trunk with bar. put one end over the strut bolts sticking out, put the other end over the other side. tighten down with some nuts.

Has anybody else had problems with aftermarket speakers with this bar? Because of how thick my pioneers are i had to mount them under the deck lid and the rear bar rubs the speakers.
