So i bought a neuspeed strut bar from losiracer since it wouldnt fit over his h22. i figured out where everything is suposed to line up but its such a tight bar im guessing i cant pull it far enough over to get the driver side on. whats the trick? should i jack the car up? would that help at all?

Thanks man. Thats what i was thinking. And i also didnt wanna mess up the threads. But i already had everything apart and started raining on me. So i had a friend over. We threw the ones the are up closer towards the front and somehow they lined up perfect and the rear came down and ligned up. Have no idea why it didnt work the first time. Hardest part was trying to keep the upper control arm threads up. They kept getting hit and sliding down.

By jacking the car up, you are unloading the suspension. While jacked up, the strut towers will be closer together. Because of this, when you tighten down the strut bar and drop the car back on the ground, it will be much tighter than if you have simply bolted it on while the car was on the ground.
