i know they have post this but it didnt have the directions that i needed.
i bought a vibrant rear strut bar i will post a pic later to confirm that's the one.
i want to know what do i need to put the strut bar?
i have:
  • the additional nuts
  • washers
  • wrench
  • strut bar of course

these are my questions where does it goes?
where you open the trunk to the sides????
when i put one side the other side wont fit the closest hole will go in the screw but the farther point wont reach the bolt or screw.
do i need to lift car or something????
please some help, comments, advice
btw i bought from gravanna so i suppose is the correct one
thank you

the nuts for the strut mount are 18 ft lbs. the bar with the Allen head i tightened them pretty tight using the Allen head to turn so I wouldn't go over board. there are also the adjusting nuts at the threads closest to the bar that let you adjust for length. once i had everything on i gave that a twist until it was tight. you can only tighten that so far by hand. just don't try to got all Hercules on it and you'll be fine.

i finish installing it. i got a question. do i have to have the mounts level up (like the washers wasn't enough and i was thinking using the stock nut as washer but too much work taking it out and is already night)
so if is ok to leave it like tilt it a little side ways or has to be level.

i have also fri off we can met so you can check it to see if it is correctly installed
thank you
