You might post in a regional forum...

Do you mean you need help physically installing it (that seems to be what Dave meant), or info to help you with details of the install process?

 

I have that bar on my car (Chromoly race version with Chromoly rod ends). Feel free to drop me a line, I'll answer anything I can.

 

Take the old one off

Put it up to the new bar so the holes line up

Put new bar on

Measure both sides from one point on the bar to the wheel well. Do it on both sides from the same point on the corresponding side. Make sure all is equal.

Put some Loctite or other thread locker fluid on the threads where the adjuster bolts are so they don't come loose.

Your done

 

ok i am doing the same install. it sounds easy just one more question. Can i do it with the wheels in the air or should the suspension be loaded?

 

You can always jack up the car (and put on jackstands) to just put suspension pieces on (leave bolts very loose), BUT then lower the car to the ground (so it is loaded) and THEN tighten the bolts.

Always tighten stuff up when loaded, including SFCs, LCAs, torque arms, and sway bar end links.

Other input welcome.

 

Hmm.... too general for me. I agree with all but the torque arm, I don't think I'd set the car on the ground with a loose torque arm. Then on the "do it in the air" list I'd add shocks & springs.
