Notes:

Some cars with ABS brake systems may require an additional hole to be drilled

into the strut rings, or removal of the small studs that locate the wiring connectors.

Procedure:

1. Lift your car's hood. Trial fit the stress-

bar to your car as shown (fig. 1) at right.
When properly installed the stressbar
crosses over the engine compartment
under the hood seal, behind the throttle-
body. To properly center the rings on
each strut tower, adjust the rod end in
or out to change the bars width. This is
the time to check for ample clearance of the bar in the engine compartment.

2. With the bar on the vehicle, use a permenant marker to mark the location of the three hole

locations on each ring. Mark the center of each hole with the centerpunch. Double check
all 6 marks before removing the bar from the car.

3. Remove the top strut nut to allow the strut to "fall" away from the strut tower as the car

is lifted. This step will allow easier access to the bottom of the strut tower when attaching
the stressbar. Your allignment will not be affected by removing this nut.

4. Jack up the car and place it on jackstands so that the front wheels are off the ground.

Remove both front wheels. Drill the six holes in the strut tower that you marked in step
