alright had to check the engine bay today and i noticced that the shocks have a threaded rod which comes up into the engine which attches it to the cars...now i know everyone complains that when you make a strut bar that attached to the two holes next to it that it doesnt complete do the job....so why not make a mount that attaches to threaded rod and the two other holes? would that work by actually connecting the two together?
thats how mine is it attaches to the threaded nipple and to two holes which i had to make myself and do the same for the other side and then I custom bent a piece of tubing and attached to the fab'd alu. plate.
i think it sounds in theroy it could work but im not the expert to ask.
put it this way its a noticable diff. in yaw and weight distribution
damn wish i had a digital camera
could you post up pics of it??
NO camera to take pics (to post) srry....
lol i wonder why no one has mentioned this before....i just wanted to make sure i wasnt going to bend that or anything
first you need to put a rubber gromit or boot over the threaded part then slip the plate on over it so that you dont destroy the threads
yea thats what i figured
If you make the strut bar a permenant fixture (i.e. don't take it off on teh weekends) you shouldn't have a problem with it eating tee threads. That's an integral part of the strut anyway, so when you replace them you get a brand new shiny threaded surface.
All my rear bars for the Lanos sit on the threads without a problem
