Strut Bar Install - Acura Integra

How to install strut bars. Strut tower bar installation. A strut bar, or tower bar, connects the top strut towers together, in order to increase the rigidity of a vehicle by allowing both strut towers to react to compression and tensile forces. A strut bar plays a larger role for MacPherson strut vehicles, however it can still be important in vehicles with double wishbones as well for compensating vertical forces. This particular installation is for a 1999 Acura Integra GS. Torque values will be car specific - look up your torque values for your car's strut flange nuts before installing.
