Installation
Step 1:
Park the car on a flat, level surface and open the hood.
Step 2: Remove the
strut to body nuts. There are 3 of these on each side.
They are 13mm, and the studs they are on may interfere if
you use a shallow socket, so grab a deep one if you have it.
Step 3: Place strut
bar in place over strut studs.
Step 4: Tighten
things up. The strut to body nuts need tighten
them to 21 ft lbs. If you don't have a torque wrench,
21 ft/lb is not very tight - just snug the nuts up.
Over-tightening can result in snapping a stud.
