Vehicle should be on a level ground. Place the
strut bar on the strut towers so you can measure
the holes to drill. Make sure strut towers are
clean, and remove sealing compound if any.
Place the strut bar on
top of the towers, so you can measure where to
drill. Leave a hair's gap between the strut bar
and the tower. Then with a marker mark the holes.

|
STEP 2. |
STEP 3. |
Center punch the 4
holes where you marked with the marker. |
Start drilling holes
with the a small drill bit before moving up to
3/8" Drill. |
|
STEP 4. |
STEP 5. |
After drilling with the
3/8" Drill use touch up paint to paint around
the hole so your paint doesn't crack. This
will also prevent
rust in the future. I don't have any touch up paint that
matches my car so I used nail polish which would
work the same. |
As you can see in the
image the the nut inserts teeth face up. |
|
STEP 6. |
STEP 8. |
With the Nut insert tool
provided place the nut insert in the hole teeth
facing up. |
Tighten the bolt approx.
12lbs. DO NOT allow nut insert tool to
turn during tightening or removal of setting
bolt. We measured 12lbs approx by having the nut
insert snug tight. |
|
STEP 9. |
STEP 10. |
Align the bar with all
the holes. |
Place the all 4 bolts, and
lock washers in at the same time. Screw in to
make sure all bolts are screwed in tightly, and
evenly. |
|
STEP 11. |
STRESS BAR INSTALLED. |
Once all bolts are screwed in
evenly, tighten approx. to 12lbs. |
