I have a 94maxima gxe and I just order a strut bar from courtesyparts.com. The strut bar is suppose to be the easiest mod you can put on the max. In my case, I have an AC aluminum hose a little in the way of the strut bar. I was told by the courtesyparts.com people that I have to either relocate it or bend it

I have no idea what to do. Help me out guys. Thanks...

you can bend it out of the way a tad.. it's fine if it rubs against it lightly- as long as it's not metal to metal or hose to metal.

on mine, what was actually rubbing was the foam insulation around the hose- which is just fine.. it won't hurt anything.

Matt, do you still have the bar on your car? If so, do you have a pix of your engine compartment? I have the same scenario. I have a Courtesy bar lying around as well that I'm trying to make up my mind if I want to mess with that hose and bending the bar, just forget it.
