Default Traction bars I made.. well sorta. Oh and misc pics at LSD Mikes

So i bought The traction bar portion for this project from Weir and i couldnt have been happier with the 70 dollar cost of the bars. I then bought some 17" sleeves with L an R threads and some rod ends and came up with this bad boy for the 4 door.

the sleeves are 5/8 and made from aluminum. the rod ends are 5/8" inc with 1/2 holes.

here are the pics







Oh and here we are at LSD mikes working on a 99 SI






My little Dog was so hungry he had his head stuck inn the dog can.

Please support the T-Bar to the factory Location otherwise you will end up like Aarons old one and belt to hell and rubbing the back of you fenders.

Ya, brace it to one of the bolt hole per side the your factory Crossmember bolts up to. On of the most important parts on an 88-91 Traction bar, otherwise it will bend like a pretzle.
