Tower strut brace ?
Good morning
I just installed a tower strut brace on my 911, and I was wondering how much tension I should put on it with out setting the alignment off? Thanks Dan |

If someone replied on how much measurable "tension" to apply, would you be able to measure it?
I would suggest simply snugging the brace to your struts existing settings.

Dan: No pre-load on the strut brace; just neutral.
Can you post pix of the brace and how you attached it?

Funny you should mention this, I just installed the Elephant brace this morning. I can't believe how easy it was! I don't know why, but I thought it would be harder. 15 minutes max.
In THOSE instructions, it says to set the bar at neutral, then create tension by turning the bar 1/3 of a turn. I can't speak for other brands...... -Chris
