hey folks, I have a question.

I recently got a strut bar off of ebay, the same one you have blind snyper, and I came across one issue upon the install. If you are facing the engine bay from the front of the car, the right side where the strut nuts are, there was a plate that was welded onto the body and I could not just place the strut bar right on or else the left side was too high and could not rest on the body. Well, I kinda fixed that by putting 4 washers (two on each hole) on the left and none on the right. Bolted down, good to go. NOW however, every now and then when I'm driving and I make a turn, I can feel the left front tire turning and kind of clicking ( I feel it in my left foot, right under the stomp pad). It's not all the time, just every now and then. I've checked the nuts to make sure that nothing is loose, and I find nothing out of order.

Can anyone offer any other trouble shooting ideas or any information. I appreciate it.

since the bar is adjustable, make sure it is as long as you can possibly make it to line up with the holes on the mounts (maybe even a 1/2 to a full turn more and force it). thats all i got for you.

Just take the washers out. I just bolted mine on and didn't have a problem with it. The only problem i have when its windy out the car seems to rock and sway.
