Steering Brace (Wonderbar) Off Ebay

Supposed to tighten up your sterring alot.. I wouldn't know what it's like not to have one, they came stock on my car... I could say though that the steering feels alot better than an RS I had gotten to drive..

So basically on my little 86 Berlinena or however u spell it, would be a nice little addition to the suspension? I don't believe I have one on there but will find out in a few days when i lift her up and start swapping suspension out

Re: Steering Brace (Wonderbar) Off Ebay

unvc, i checked out the link you gave and it appears that the one you gave me can use 3 bolts possibly three, where as the ebay guy assures you you can use 3 bolts for a better connection. I don't know if it matters but I will probably end up choosing whoever's shipping is cheapest.

you can email them because they usually respond pretty quick
just thought you might want something cheaper (if it is cheaper after shipping)

I run this on my 89 and did notice some improved steering response, its a nice piece. If you read through the ad the wonder bar also protects the steeriing box area which is known for cracking.
