Ractive strut bar question
Well I finally was persuaded to get a ractive strut bar. However I am unsure how to install it. On the left strut tower (from sitting in drivers seat) there is an aluminum pipe (see photo) I assume that the strut bar has to be installed below this, how do I move this pipe? Do I disconnect the pipe? What is the pipe for?

i'm pretty sure, but could be wrong, that, that is your a/c line. i don't think that you should need to move it all, but i could be wrong.
good luck, tell me how it goes because i might a strut bar too

Hey thanks for all the help...I found a picture of an installed ractive strut bar and after thinking about it a bit i decided I did actually have it on correctly. For those wondering, after a bit of filing, i finally got the bar installed. It does make a notable difference...Thanks for all the help!
