tie bar

[2k2civicSi]

ok i got my tie bar when i go to take the bolts out to put it in is the a arm gona fall out should i put a jack stand under it or what?

yes the arm will slip out a bit and it might be a bitch to line up the holes so that would be smart to put a jack stand under it in the bigining. For me it slipped out a bit and i used a 2nd jack stand to push it up and someone else had to pull the wheel outward to get the holes straight it was a bitch but i suppose if you put the jack stand under there first you should be good to go.

the arm will be loose and may slide toward the inside of the car. You'll be able to hold it, but you may want to take your rim off to make it easier....this is how I did it on my last civic

or just take the rim off :D

we used the rim for leverage so we can jimmy the bolt back in, besides taking off the rim would have just been more work. :D i like to take of the least possible when working on my car.

Where's everyone buying the tie bars? Is it only for the rear now? (Is a front one made?)


Thanks,

i got mine from ebay, pretty cool and cheap. and i'm not so sure about the front ones. i think dc has a rear tie bar out for our car also.

I installed mine on sunday. I didn't take the wheel off. Glad I didn't because the arm barely moved....would have been a waste of time. I just used a srcew driver to lever it back in place and slipped the bolt in. Took me like 10 minutes max to install it. It actually helps in turning.

Could someone post a link to the ebay auction so I know who's selling them?


Thanks,

it doesnt say it is for the 2002 si, but DTH got the one for the 01-02 civic. pm him though just in case, but i am pretty sure he did get one. it looks just like the one i have and it is adjustable. looks like the same ends as the dc sports ones... anyways i got mine for 20 bucks too. combine it with the rear strut bar. i felt more of a diff with the rear strut bar, but maybe because i installed that one first.

I just emailed them, thanks!
