just installed my neuspeed F U bar

Civic2k1racer · 05-22-2003

i finally installed it today...it took a while, the bar didnt line up correctly, so i tried jakcing up the drivers side, it didnt help, it was the same(i even loosened the third bolt) so i was ready to give up...i lowered the car back down, then tried to place the bar on the drivers side first, then force it on the passenger side, it worked. i torqued it to 33 ft lbs, does anybody know how much u torque that third bolt that i had to loosen for jacking up the drivers side, i did it to about 33 ft/lbs anyway. well its kinda wet out so i didnt really test it out fully. the car still does lean like crazy when i turn, i know its only a strut bar, but ill test it out more when it dries up outside. i really didnt notice better steering as much as i thought i would
im gonan install my x brace next week, so hopefully ill notice more of a change

why'd you have to jack up the car? mine just popped in place, err kinda had to force it at times. but it fit nonetheless. every bolt for that should be torqued 33 ft. lbs. show pics of your x-brace install.

i tried jacking it up cause it says to in the instructions if it doesnt fit into place. i thought maybe they sent me the bar for the wrong car or something, it was impossible to fit it on the drivers side after puttin it on the passenger side first, so i tried putting it on the drivers side first, then the passenger, then it fit.

i jacked my car up when i put mine on. wasnt a big deal just moved the strut around until the bolts lined up with the strut bar.

I had to jack up my ride. I pitty the fool that ever has to take off my bar...there's alot of pressure on it.

you have to try to put it in at the same time. it's harder to install if you do one side at a time.
