fstb adjusting

I tried search, but didnt see anything about if it is necessary to adjust the fstb after install. Its only been on a few months, and I know it was installed correctly and torqued correctly. It seems as there is some play from front to back. Its not a grea deal of play, but enough to make me think it might not be doing everything it can. All of the bolts are still tight, just curious if anyone else has had to re-adjust it after any amount of time.

No play at all in any direction. No "twist play" as reported in other posts.

If you torque the bolts on the shocks to 35lbs and tighen everything else real tight (the crome "adjuster nuts" on bar itself and the "end plate bolts" which connect the bar to the end plate) you shouldn't have any problems, play, etc.

Just follow the directions at http://www.courtesyparts.com/html/inst_a33_stb.html

Good luck!

reinstall

if its loose, just loosten all the nuts on the bar, on a level surfase and retorque. The bar should be tight and not move to do its job.
