raised hood
Friday, January 06, 2006 11:21 AM
Ok...there's probably a thread or answer to this already but i just haven't seen it. I just installed a strut bar and my hood is raised up a bit. Is that ok and is there a way to fix that problem?

I don't know how it actually look, cause I don't have the same engine, but if the braket is on the strut tower, you can pry the bracket like I did (sorry if it's not the same thing, but maybe it will help) :

which strut bar did you get?

i have the ractive on and it does the same thing. i can put it any lower cause my intake is in the way (i have the 2200). i've just learned to deal with it.

Where did you purchase it and was it designed for the 2200?

got it on ebay which was probably stupid but for 45 bucks it was worth it and it fit a caviler 2002 model so the guy said it should've fit mine

Well just so you know, all 3rd gens have the same struts, so they have the same strut bolt pattern...so it would fit any 95-2005 J body...it all comes down to how they are designed so they avoid your hood and your computer. So really, unless you somehow figure out a way to avoid it, then you just wasted $45.
