Pisces69 6th Gear July 21, 2007 Share July 21, 2007 Maybe its those adjustable strut bars.... Which have nuts at both sides... ALUTEC kind.... ==================== Strut bar sud have as little joints as possible to b more rigid. Best is one piece construction but those must b well made with fine tolerances so either is quite ex. or will not fit properly. Those adjustable type is like "one size fits all".
