QUOTE(kahheng @ Feb 4 2007, 06:08 PM) no drill...the screws and holes were all there.....even the SCREWS.....just unscrew the nuts and then install and tighten the nuts again..... what model is your car.....i am sure there is a specially made strut bar......i can give you the contact person and then he can find for you...... |

if the mounting is not stable, the bar will flex, reducing the effectiveness of the struts, the struts is supposed to balance out load on one side of the suspension, if your strut bars is 100% effective, during cornering, your suspension spring rate will be doubled, thus more stable
with weldings i really doubt the effectiveness :s |

the bar itself is a round shape , which is quite hard ... but the edge there connected to flat shape hinge . flat shape is easy to be bend . try use ur ruler , see easy to bend or not ? ... notmal strut bar has whole construction with two circle on both end which is much more solid and stable in configuration .

the 3 point one is not really good for ur car .
i ahve read before , it must be on that two points only , that is one of the way to make it cancel-off each other forces . for the one screw into firewall , in long term firewall might have loosen due to forces . ask ppl about this , many 3 point user expreienced . |
