hey ppl

Well i just wanted to find out how i would install a strut brace onto my 3rd gen TE ?
Cause i got no idea wat to do.......

thanks

Bolt it on....

sit the car on flat ground. un-do the bolts ontop of the struts. put on brace and do them up again.

your best option is do do them p with a torque wrench but you can just use a socket set or spanner.

just be carful not to strip the bolts

is that all i have do???

Its just like i said... You should make it a challage for yourself and try doing it while driving down the expressway..


P.S. You may need someone to help you though as it maybe to hard as a one man operation.....

weld it on....

Drive your car to a suspension shop and see if u can use their torque wrench for 2 seconds.

And try welding the torque wrench on too, know you would have a free torque wrench...

its that simple. it's a 10 min job tops.

you don't need to do em up with a torque wrench, but if you can get one, either through another member or anyone, do it

its cheaper this way.

What benefits would u gain from this witha largely stock engine tho? :nuts:

You don't need a hi-po engine to take a corner quickly. The strut brace will give you improved cornering stability as well as reduced torque steer.

Bet you wouldnt be saying that if we took you down the Great Ocean Road.. I swear by the strut brace in my car.. It certainly handled the corners far better than it did without one!

A few people can attest to how flat the car handled through the corners..

Whiteline (http://www.whiteline.com.au) make and sell them, and have prices on their web site. You can usually get them cheaper through a Whiteline retailer though. Any suspension shop should be able to help you out.

On the whiteline site there is no brace for a TJ magna.

I have a 2001 TJ magna executive which brace would be suitable?

Item number #ksb592 or #ksb607

Cheers.

There's a group buy for them in the far sale section

Thanks mate. :)

They must not have very good hills up there. :nuts:

The strut brace on mine made a minor inprovement to steering response. What really made a difference though was the anti-lift/castor kit and upgraded rear sway bar.
