Strut Tower Brace and squeaking ??? I have a '98 Z28 with about 30k on the clock. This weekend, I installed the SLP STB. We were able to torque the outside bolts back to 32ft. lb. torque, but the inside ones we tightened up as much as possible. The bar does not move or rattle at all. But would installing this cause other things to sqeak in the back? I don't know if it is me just hearing things because the windows were up now that it is cold when I normally drive with the windows down. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: Strut Tower Brace and squeaking ??? get some subframes before the strut tower.....puts extra stress on the rest of the frame when you go over bumps. Those will be sure to cure it.
