Front Strut Bar

What is a front strut bar?

Front strut bars are an essential performance part that increases the handling and steering precision of a vehicle.  It is a metal bar, usually made from round or square tubing.  It bolts to the tops of the front strut towers and goes across the engine.  With tying the strut towers together movement from the steering during cornering is reduced. 
Installing a front strut bar on a Lancer

Step 1:

Remove the nuts that hold the upper strut to the body. 

Step 2:

Place the strut mount over the studs that the nuts were bolted to.  Strut bars are made specifically for each application, so make sure you are installing the proper strut bar.

Step 3:

Fasten the nuts on the strut bar and tighten them with a wrench.

Step 4:

Test the fit of the strut bar and the hood; test drive the vehicle to insure there are no strange noises and that the steering is functioning properly.
