rear strut bar question

[RedShark]

Ok, I bought the front strut bar, installed it, and put it in and I love it! <img src=/images/forums/snitz/thumbup.gif width=25 height=18 border=0> Now when I ordered the front, I also ordered the rear, but they were out of stock so they only sent me the front. Now I wanted to get the rear but I have a question first. How easy is installation compared to the front? lol <img src=/images/forums/snitz/laugh.gif width=15 height=31 border=0>

It is a little more tricky since you have to remove the carpeted panneling from around the rear struts. After installing the brace you will need to cut small holes in the panneling so that it will go around it.

Sweet! Thanks Cotton for that link, I was looking for how to put mine in too! <img src=/images/forums/snitz/laugh.gif width=15 height=31 border=0> I remember them saying it was an approxiamte 3 hour job. I guess the trickiest part being when you need to cut the 2 holes in your rear interior panels for the bar to pass thru! Good luck to us!<img src=/images/forums/snitz/thumbup.gif width=25 height=18 border=0>
