My eBay rear upper strut bar finally arrived.

Anyway, I have a few stupid questions for those of you with this part installed.

1. Which is left and which is right?

2. It's adjustable. How do you know how wide to put the end pieces? Now, I know this should be obvious, but when I first installed my Neuspeed f/u strut bar it didn't look like it would fit, but once I jacked up the driver's side it did fit. So what method do I use to determine the correct length?

3. Do I need to jack anything up to install it?

4. Is there anything else I should know?

Thanks for the help,

It is not adjustable. It just screws into place. Put the bar in loosely then tighten the bolts until it is stiff.
It should only match up one way or the others. The bar itself can go either way if you take of the ends. The ends wil only fit one way. No need to jack up the car.

The endlinks only fit one way, and you have to take the bar apart or you won't get it in there. Undo the 2 bolts on the strut tower in the trunk (yes, they're a pain), then put the end link on it and just put the nuts back on (don't tighten them).


Once both of them are on, put the bar between them and loosely put the nuts in. Tighten down both towers to 33 ft-lbs, then tighten the bar.
