you should of just bought a 20 dollar strut bar they sell on ebay.....these things are so cheap now its not worth do it urself same goes for the air intakes....

[Anonymous]

why buy when i can do it for half the price???

all i did was buy some 1/4 inch steel plate and some 3/4 inch pipe from home depot and weld it up all nice. and it works fine, a few squeeks everyonce and awhile... any suggestions to stop that?

[saturn_06]

WD40?

[j_mangus]

squeeks are caused by One thing rubbing Another... maybe slow down, or get her out of the car while doin 100 around 90's and she wont rub you the wrong way?

LMAO


did you just tell him to jump out of his car while he's doing 100??

lol, yup that will DEFENETLY stop the squeking HE hears.


the squeks just look for where somethind is rubbing, like magnus said


or grab the sway bar and shake it and listen, or maybe it's the sway bar and the hood?

[slowion2]

it probably isn't sitting flush against the strut tower sheet metal

or it's too high and rubbing the sheet metal on the hood bracing

if it's rubbing on the hood, there'll be patches of bare metal where the paint under the hood has been rubbed off. if there is, at least you'll know what's squeaking
