Need help fast installing Tie bar
Im installing my tie bar and I was wondering when i take out that screw where the tie bar is supposed to go is anything gonna fall off or come out of its place. And should the wheels be on the ground or off the ground?

Nothing will fall out per se, but brace the control arm with a piece of wood so you can align the hole up easier.

Rep Power: 0 Ok you know how theres the first part where you screw it in then you have to shove the screw in to the second part where it has to be screwed. Thats where im stuck at right now. I did put a jack under and everything was aligned I dont get whats wrong.

Rep Power: 368 Well, you have to get the thread out to the other side right? In this case I'd keep turning it to see if the threads catch or just rubber mallet till the bolt comes through on the other side, then start turning it.

Rep Power: 0 I tried that and it got there but now I have a feeling I may have stripped the bolts. I went to my honda dealer they didnt have it in stock. They wanted almost 4 bucks for some bolt lol. Either way I was going to get it.

Rep Power: 0 give it a little shake and pound it at the same time... won't go in? pull it out first and see what's restricting the bolt to go in before you break/strip somthing... maybe a WD40 would help...
