![Question](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
hi guys
just wanted to know if this is right. I just put thr bar over the the fwd strut mount stud to see what it would look like,well when doing this I noticed that I could'nt even put the bar down on the studs. I did not remove the bolts or loosen anything. just wanted to see what it would look like. is this normal since bolts are still on the stud? will this throw off wheel alignment once tower srtut bar is installed ?
any advice on this installation would be appreciated as well.
I thank you in advance for the info.
THANKS

Installation is pretty straight forward. It shouldn't mess up your alignment as previously said. Some people are **** about things however, if you are, get it aligned for 40 bucks after you get it installed. And if you are going to get it aligned, mine as well get it lowered before hand.

When I put my STB on, it's a bit tricky because of the angles, but once the bae of the bar seats down on top of the struts, it should have plenty of clearance. I hope that answers your question.

hi guys.
thanks for the replies.
I attempted to install tower strut bar yesterday and would not fit. (slp tower strut) its off about 1/4 inch. was thinking if I loosened all 4 mount on ea. side would I be able to slide the upper strut side to side. I removed the 2 front nut on each side, maybe I can get some room for installation this way. would it through off allignment if I do this? I can probably make the gap longer but. has anybody done this sort of mod to make it fit? how succesfull was it so far? how close can I get to the weld spot so it wont crack around the weld. I rather not do this till I speak to SLP rep. may I just got a bad one. any info would help
thanks guys
