Installed FSTB, now car pulls to the right.
Installed FSTB, now car pulls to the right.
I put it on today, and I could swear I felt the car pulling to the right more than I had ever noticed before. The wheel felt a little foreign too.
I didn't use a torque wrench, because I didn't have one, so I tightened the bolts using feel as my torque meter. Snug, but not too snug.
Is it possible that unevenly tightened bolts could lead to the car pulling to the right even if the difference was only by a few ft/lbs on each bolt?
Would getting a torque wrench and equally tightening them to say 34 ft/lbs solve my problem, or is there something else going on here.
(It's a Paradox lightweight bar if that matters)

never heard of this happening b4. i think if anything, it was like that before hand, and you just notice it now cause your trying "pay attention" and feel if your fstb made a difference. not using a torque wrench should affect the alignment on your car at all since those bolts dont adjust you alignment. id take it off, and see what happens. if theres a diffenece in the pull, i would imagine that mabye your alighment was off to begin with, and by eliminating the flex in the front of the car, it mave have somehow just exagerated the problem. i think this is highly unlikely, but worst case just put it on and get an alighment then. just my opionion
