I got my GT-Four rear bar today and, I couldn't get it settled on the strut bolts. I tried jacking up either side to see if that would work, but nothing. The bar would line up with the 4 bolts and sit on them, but I couldn't push it down. Any tips?

you probably have it on backwards. make sure it's facing the right way.

Nope, I had it the right way. There's no it'd fit the other way around, the holes don't line up.

Got it installed, just jacked it up by the cross member to loosen the chassis up.

I dunno? I was weird. I was trying to fit it and all 4 bolts were lining up with the holes, but the bar still needed to go down about 2/5" to sit on the tower and I couldn't push it down. I didn't jack the whole car up, I just had to lift it maybe 2 or 3 inches. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

QUOTE (14:19:21) Daniel: That was a JDM hole in the side of the box too. There was so much JDM trapped inside that box that they couldn't contain it, so they had to put a JDM hole in the box to let the JDM out. QUOTE Ferdi says (11:29) No, it looks like a hooker put her acid vag on your hood. Acid vag = bigger problem than a few dings. |
