Hey man, thanks for everything, you have been more than helpful.
Also the point about putting the car into gear, ive never thought of that. Always been mucking around with RWD cars. LOL.
yeh i know. I wasnt trying to put an order to it. i was just trying to clarify how the D bracket and bushings work...since that was his question.
but thanks for that input. i can see how it can be misunderstood.
ok, for cxi
1) life rear of car, jacking points are just in front of the rear wheels (ensure you're in gear so front wheels dont move, and also use bricks for added measure. Make sure you have jack stands. Remember, safety first!)
2) remove LCA bolts
3) install ASR brace (with LCA bolt + 2nd smaller bolt - not too tight!)
4) put swaybar in its bushings with grease, and put bushings in the Dbracket. Then bolt the Dbrackets to the ASR brace. (With CXi, you'll need backing plates which should come with the ASR brace. Again, dont bolt too tight!)
5) connect the endlinks to the LCAs (and again, dont bolt too tight!!)
6) lower your car
7) Tighten nuts/bolts to appropriate amount of torque.
if you dont want to use the ASR brace. Then ignore step 1, and step 2 should read "install mounting pieces".
The link i put up previously should be helpful.
i think you mean, ignore step 2, and step 3 should read "install mounting pieces".
otherwise, really good info. and good links too. i used that same link when i installed mine on my em1.
mods should rep you
