does FSTB jerk the steering wheel??

lately, i've been noticing the steering wheel jerking or pulling when i turn the wheel..it only jerks slightly and once in awhile...i think it's the FSTB that's doing that.
i'm wondering if the fstb is suppose to do that. BTW, i got the fstb off of ebay from directcarparts.com...looks like the one custommaxima used to sell.

Yes. It you don't like it then loosten the bolts on the end of the bar a little (not the strut tower bolts!). The fact that it only happens once in a while (not on a regular basis) is of how you drive though... if you turned it the same way every time it should do the exact same thing.

You shouldn't feel anything in the steering with an FSTB. It's a structure support device. Holds the strut towers. Gives a more solid feel to the structure of the car. Holds the towers steady when load is placed on them in turns.

Steering wheel jerking? Pulling?

Not possible from a strut bar installation.
