Important ? about FSTB install... Experts help!
I may be a little paranoid, but I noticed a how-to on the Courtesy FSTB here on the .org after I did my install, and he mentioned that you need to make sure the car is perfectly level with the horizon with a 'bubble-type' level or something, well I installed mine while the car was turned off, in park, on a slight incline, is that a big problem? I had no idea there was supposed to be a perfectly flat paved surface for this install...
...What is the worst thing that could happen? It seems to be driving fine, I am not driving with my strut towers out of wack or something because I loosened the tower bolts and retightened them on an incline am I???
By the way, I torqued all six bolts to 35 ft./lbs... This is right isn't it? I am just paranoid about my baby...
