Just out of curiousity when you install the strut bars on andy of the upper/lower/front/rear what should the tierods ends be "set to or tightened at? I was just wondering I read the DIY, but it didn't list anything. I just ordered a full 4 piece set and install isn't a problem, just thoes tie rod ends kinda got me wondering.

 

im not sure...but i dont think they have to be set to any spacific tourk, but dont take my word on it, some one should be around..i would like to no too

 

YES, THEY SHOULD BE TORQUED TO SPEC!!!!

Do you have a hayne's manual, or chilton? It will vary depending on what kind/year the car is.

 

i think most of them are 20 ft lbs.

 

They're way more than that on the lower ones

 

I've looked this up before

I don't have my manual here and I'm not sure why I didn't list any of the lower values, maybe they were not in the book. I can check it out later at home.

 

I know what the value of the strut bolts should be torqued to. I'm talking about the adjustment on the bars themselves, the tie rod ends on the actual the strut bars. Any ideas or are those only just to tighten or loosen the stiffness of the bars?

 

OH. Well, unless they come with instructions... I don't know.

 

They're just adjustments so it fits on correctly. I tried to get mine as stiff(Short) as possible, I don't think it makes much a difference though.

 

ooooohhhhh, yeah i get it now. Haha, yeah i would just tighten them until they're secure, and as my hill billy buddy says "that **** ain't goin' no where!"
