Default Muz Lower Strut Brace
Just got my Muz Lower Strut Brace, but it didn't have any fitting instructions.
Can anyone help??? Which way faces up?? Will I need to take any bolts off??

Cheers in advance.
Hoping to crawl under the car tonight to get it fitted.

If you really need to ask, I would seriously recommend that you ask a local gagarge to pop it on for you.

Let me know if you get stuck cos I only did mine last month. You need a torque wrench and a 8mm hex bit.

When you have taken the 4 bolts out, oil the hole and the new allen bolts and run them in and out a few times to get everything slick and loose before raising the brace into place. REMEMBER if they need any sort of force to drive 'em in........YOU ARE ABOUT TO STRIP THE THREADS IN THE CHASSIS !!!

If you don't believe me, check how many US guys had to take the chassis to be re-tapped.

Just take it slow and you will be fine. I managed it and I'm an idiot.
