What would be easier to do:

-Put the brackets on the bar and assemble it as whole, then install as one piece on the vehicle?

or

-Install brackets on vehicle first, and then attach strut bar onto brackets already attached to vehicle?


got the ebay ones seems like everybody gets, the 4 piece aluminums:

Not rocket science, just wondering what will make the job easier thanks

 

It's easier and better to install the bars fully assembled, initially. Get them to about where should be before putting them on (to make things easier). Once you have the bolts off of where the bracets attach to, put the do a test fit. Then, adjust until they are slightly too far apart OR slightly too close to add compression or tension respectively.

 

cool, thanks for the reply. always good to know the easiest way first, better than finding it out after you tried the hard way first youself...

 

very true!

 

easiest way is to assemble, but don't tighten them, install the bars on the ends, and then go back and tighten up everything and torque the bolts down.

just don't lift the car in the air while you are doing this. lol
