It comes with instructions; you should have no problem following them and installing the bar.


Just dont let this happen:

Hey I got the DC Strut.....and all I can say is to jack up the car from the front(just behind the front bumper)....just enough to get the tires off the ground. And make sure its lifted in the center of the car (don't lift the car one one side)!!! That made it easy for me!!!!! Good luck!

Oh, I see. That makes a little more sense. Cool. I go to UT and can't wait for football season. I'm hoping they can do a little better this year than last.

For both me, and my girlfriend, who has an '05 Tibby V6, we both had to jack our cars up in the front to get the bar on. Hers was much easier though, b/c you didn't have to manuver behind the engine and under the wiper plate like you do on our cars.
