Two FSTB Questions. . .

1. Where can I find one for ~$45 shipped (have never used EBAY before)?

2. When installing one, should it be bolted on with the wheels off the ground (preloading it) or as it sits?

best bet to find a generic one would be ebay. some other sites have them but ive heard horror stories about customer service like procarparts.com. check courtesyparts.com for theirs. for install, just do it as the vehicle sits. i just did mine with the wheel straight and on level ground not that torque the bolts back to 29-40lbs.

I'm selling a nice one from Courtesy Nissan. It's one of the few that doesn't have clearance issues...
