| strut tower brace. it is to keep the strut towers from flexing around corners. makes the car feel more solid and helps maintain steering geometry. will make your car less eratic. |

as much as i hate to inturupt the inventive repartee going on here... he probably gained access to said $250,000.00 worth of tools after he paid $50 to have welding done. as anyone with that much $ in tools would atleast have a light duty welder.
BTW speaking of screw drivers, you know how sometimes youloose a screw driver. my dad has every screwdriver anyone has ever lost. he has one of those big rollaway boxes, one of the lower drawers is FULL of screwdrivers. and you know the funny thing, i can still never find one in the size i want.  |

Once again, this is derailed. I'm locking this now.
Danked. Why is it that, everytime you post something, I have to lock it? Everyone, please in the technical forum, keep it on track. I hate locking things, I hate having to police things. In the tech forum, keep it to the tech. |
