Rear strut bar problems
Monday, January 30, 2006 7:13 PM
i went to get my rear bar installed after gettin the nuts for the top of the bolt and now this is my new problem. I installed the bracets on the towers, went to put the bar in and the bracets are facing outward. liek there not straight inline with each other. WTF!! I tried forcing the bar in and ended up striping one of the bolts out becuase i forced it to hard. Is this normal or is this just a defect or screw up of Vibrant and what should i do about it?

When i did mine, i put The brace in, ine one piece, brackets and bar connected, cause it will only work 1 way that way.

Yeah. I've never heard of anyone trying to put the bar together in the car like that.

i tired that and it didn't work the brackets are like welder crooked we tried forcoing it and now i noticed both bolts that go into the bar were a bit bent inside the bar but they still thread in (thank god) so i dunno what im goin to do. Maybe i can try to bend the tabs for the bar on the brackets

Do you asked to the manufacturer of this part about this issue?

is it possible you car got in an accident in the past before you got it?...

i think im lookinf at the same senario....rear ended couple moths ago but i wouldnt think the allignment would be off this bad when i tighten the two rear bolts it pinches and makes the frontraise up and all crooked i cant figure this out so frustrating....and im at a dead end now...but with just the two bolts holding it down you can feel the diffrence just cant push it as hard as i want...
