Great forums! very helpful, a couple of my current dilemmas.

1. Installed the new strut bar links (only the links didn't touch the cradles at bottom yet) and noticed the passenger side is slightly rubbing on the frame, see pic. Drivers side has ample clearance. Is this normal (I vote no) and can the bar be centered by loosening (I believe) the 13mm bolt holding the cushions moving over and retightening?

2. The negative battery cable looks like it was replaced at some point. It terminates on the top of frame passenger side front. Is this correct?

3. The push in plastic retainer in the center of cross frame that secures the positive cable was broken, anyone know where I can get a factory (or close) one? Not sure exactly what it looks like maybe a zip tie deal?

THANKS Robert

Yes, you can loosen the Sway Bar Mounts under the car and gently reposition the Sway Bar left or right to eliminate the rubbing of the Link on your passenger side. You'll need a big screwdriver or a pry bar to do the job.

You install the bottom of the vertical struts first. You need to adjust the threads so they are both the same length and the same as the OEM you took off. The car needs to be fairly level. You can then pull the sway bar up so that the top is lined up.
I hope that helps somewhat.
You need a Torx bit to remove the original. That is not on the instruction sheet.

You can use this style push in tie wrap for Positive battery cable attachment. Available on eBay.

Use a drill bit to determine size of hole that is in cross frame.
There are different hole sizes on eBay.
