Notes: Cars with ABS brake systems may have to either drill one small additional hole into each strut ring, or
remove the small studs that hold the connector in place, then re-mount the connector after the stress-
bar is installed. Many Autotech stressbars have a small dimple in the crosstube. This is not a defect! It
is made using a hydraulic press and is for clearance of certain engine components.
Procedure:
1. Lift your car's hood. Trial fi t the stressbar to your
car as shown (fi g 1) at right. When properly installed,
the stressbar crosses over the engine compartment at
the front of the strut towers. To properly center the
rings on each strut tower, adjust the rod end in or out
to increase or decrease the bar's width. This is the time
to check for ample clearance of the bar in the engine
com part ment.
2. With the bar on the vehicle, use a scribe or awl to mark
the three hole locations in each tower (fi g 2). Note that
you will use only three of the six holes available in
each ring. Use the guide below-right for hole locations
to use. Be sure to re-check the marks, then remove the
stressbar. (cont >)
