just tight it back like the original tightness, using your own hand and power as measurement. It shouldn't matter as long as it's tight enough that it won't gradually loosen over time.
Yoram, as per our PMs... Use felt :)...
I've tried adjusting the pipes, made no difference...
I agree with what other people have said about the strut bar. It is a worthy mod. The difference is not as much as the rear sway bar but it is noticeable.
With very little steering movement the car will change direction now. The steering is more precise and "tight". I also feel like my rear sway bar is working harder as there is less roll at the front of the car.
As a bonus I notice that the car tracks straigher on the road. Previously the car tended to follow the road undulations in the road excessively. Maybe that is all in my head - but it feels like the car tracks straighter, especially noticeable on my daily freeway run in Perth.
I moved my air con pipes as per our convo as well as with euro77's...
Doesn't seemed to make much of a difference, still needed the felt in the end.... I think it's a good cheap investment to protect the air con pipes......
Mine comes this week... strut + lower arm. Reviews to come.
Very nice ! does it improve handling alot???
they both do the same thing except a torque wrench allows you to set the amount of torque needed and stops tightening after it reaches the set torque where as a normal wrench it just all depends if you want to keep tightening or not....or else you could be realli strong and dont know your limits.....:eek:Quote:
