Neuspeed front strut bar problem I have minor issue with installing my neuspeed front upper strut bar... trying to install this on my 4dr Civic EX w/ auto transmission so the deal is bought this piece used, because the owner of the car was involved in a rear end collision which resulted in the car being written off.. so none the less i bought the bar but ran into one weird issue I am able to fit one side of the bar without a problem, tried both ways meaning passenger or driver either side fit fine...again one at a time so then when it comes to fitting the other side...its about an inch away no matter what i tried it was the same issue and did not matter if I was installing it from the driver side or passenger.. any idea on why this is happening? and how can i fix this, it supposed to be an easy mod but damn this sucks! so any help? |
Re: Neuspeed front strut bar problem lift the front of the car up, and try it again, i know it seems counterproductive, but it relieves the stress from the towers bending inwards if its close, than use a rubber mallet to make it go the rest of the way in |
Re: Neuspeed front strut bar problem could also be the wrong bar.. coulda been for an older civic or an ep3 or something else.. |
Re: Neuspeed front strut bar problem just jack up one front side of the car and it should go in. i had the same problem with mine a couple years back also. |
Re: Neuspeed front strut bar problem yeah me too. one side was short. i luckily did not have to jack the car up, i just tried to put both sides in slightly together and then hammer them with rubber mallet lol |
Re: Neuspeed front strut bar problem like they said, jack up the front of the car. My bar was off about an inch or less. I didn't jack up the car, but muscled it on, after 45 minutes of barely getting it on, i finalized the installation with my hammer. It's the correct bar, just try again with the car jacked up and it should be easier a little. |

so just to clarify he needs to jack up the passenger side rear wheel while standing on 1 foot and eating a pastrami sandwich to make it fit? |
