I'm going to be installing this brace this weekend, but there were no instructions included. Seems fairly straightforward, but I still would like to know what I'm doing before I get under the car. Anybody have any experience with/instructions for installing this part?

I've installed a BMR A-arm brace which was intuitive once you worked out where it went. I guess this is the same.

I put a little lock-tight on the threads when I installed mine

Sorry old thread resurrected from the dead but...

I just got mine and i see that the tube par is not centered where the bolt-holes are. Should the tube be mounted closer to the chassis or more toward the ground? Or is this an issue at all?

Imagine that 2007 Mustangs already come with a brace back there...

Edit: just spent the last hour downstairs (freezing) trying to get the bolts off and found.

1) 07 models apparently have one of those things bolted on down there in the two holes beneath the mounting bolts for the g-trac bar.

2) the 21mm nut to be removed is facing up toward the manifolds not down and it is impossible to get to..


Crap.. ideas? this was supposed to be a snap and as usual it wasn't.
