Cant have everything i suppose.It would be ideal if someone were to design one that could be easily removed ... bolt it on for track days, take it off when you need the haulage space. How hard could that be? New Lower Stress Bar From Focussport - Scorcher000 - 07-08-2008 It's very possible if you can weld. take the original bar bolt it in and meassure the cut on both side close enough to hide the ends. on each end weld a smaller short pipe on it so it can go inside the car and mark and drill hole bolt it up with a Grade A and TA DA.

I've rebuilt the front suspension on my cousins focus and those bolts wouldn't budge with out my impact.... but it was from 2000 and it had almost 200,000 km... you're right about corrosion. i had to use a breaker bar with a peice of pipe on the end for more leverage. i bet i can put out more torque than most impact guns. I rember there were these bolts at work that needed 1000ft.lbs. we had at least a 6 foot pipe on the torque wrench NikiterZTS, Jul 2 2008 Wrote:build a whole bunch....maybe you can sell em for $50 we'll see. I'm running out of time for this year (I'm going to be working out of the country for 6month) so I might not get it made till next year |
