i have a question on propper installation.

i've had my fstb for almost a year now, but just now started wondering (yeah, i'm slow).

the fstb's are adjustable to either "push out" or "pull in". i didn't do either and just put the bar on... how is it supposed to go?

(am i making any sense?)

kafene.

 

Once its installed correctly you should not adjust it. It only has one setting

 

you want it to have more pressure pushing out before you tighten the bolts.

 

Why?

 

according to cheston, it gives it more "structural rigity"


from the how2:
"Loosely place the front strut bar in the holes and press down so that the brackets are FLUSH with the body. Once they are, EXPAND the bar, so the're a bit snug, by either rotating the strut bar so that the bases get further apart, or removing the brackets and loosening it . You want to have it set farther apart to push the two struts apart, causing more structural rigidity."
