Strut Brace

[BONDY]

OK chaps, before you all start rolling on the floor laughing, i know it's a silly question????

BUT

Does a strut brace pull in on the strut pillars or push out, i always thought they pushed out, but now i got one i can't decide :banghead: :banghead:

I guess that would depend on whether the front of the car was going up or down. The idea of any chassis brace is to stop flexing. A strut brace is supposed to stop the strut towers from moving closer to each other and farther away from each other by joining them together.

Yes Lofty, this i understand!!!!

BUT

On setting up your brace do you push out or pull in????

Some aren't adjustable, so the idea is just to stop flex, not pre-strain the struts.

If you have an adjustable one, I think you find it will pull in slightly.

Cheers Nick, this ones fully adjustable, so i threw it on and tightened it up (pulled struts together)

P.S. have i got parcels winging their way to my door??? :cheeky:

You've got one that'll be with you Friday, that's the SVH kit.
The polishing has been delayed, as my nephew dropped a few bits today when he was having a clear up, and thus scratched the bling :banghead:
