WARNING! when installing strutbar, you need the following things:-elbow grease-headlight fluid

these things can be aquired at your local walmart.

You guys are mean... hahahah.

Well, I think you'll be pretty safe w/ front and upper rear.

However, if you do rear lower tie bar, that may dink your alignment up (I did w/ mine).

You're suppose to make "alignment" marks or some crap when doing rear lower tie, but whatever.

Don't forget along with that headlight fluid, make sure your flux capacitor is nice and charged, you dont want that thing to go out on you.

Did anyone actually hear that radio talk show live? Oh man if I was listening to that radio show and was driving I wouldve crashed from laughing too hard.

Funny Sh**

Oh yea and some people think its necessary to lift up your front end when you pu on a strut bar but that's not necessary because the strut bar works in both under tension and no tension.

Haha, that prank call was great. I like the one about the guy who beats speeding tickets by, among other things, waxing his car daily "so the radar gun can't pick it up":http://www.ebaumsworld.com/irocspeeding.html

....wow this thread got off topic really fast

oooh oooh funny story!

In my auto tech class last year they got this dude good with that one. He was a first year and they told him the car he was working on needed exhaust bearings. He's like wtf are exhaust bearings and they just said to call up oreilys and ask for them, they would know what he was talking about. So he gets on the shop phone and calls. Little does he know that he's actually just called one of the second year guys' cell phone. He answers and takes the kids order for exhaust bearings. So later on the guys find some old wheel bearings and put them in a box and say, here dude they just came in. The kid is completely oblivious to all of this. He spent the rest of that day trying to figure out how to install those freaking bearing before our teacher finally told him the truth. It was so great
