Front Strut Brace

Hi Tim,
I fitted one on my old Cav - and that involved rilling the suspension turrets! I got Subaru to fit one on the Scoob as it was going in for a service anyway. It look dead straightfoward as it bolts to the top of the turrets. The only thing that Subaru mentioned is that they placed a plain washer below the strut brace so that the paintwork wasn't damaged.
Fairly easy job IMHO....

The washers are a good tip, with perhaps some grease or such like below them. I found that when I removed my OMP bolt on brace, it removed lots of the 'gooey' sealant stuff thay put round the seams of the strut.
The actual fitting of the OMP version just involves loosening 2 (or was it 3?) of the strut top bolts on each side, playing around with the adjusting nut in the strut bar to get it to fit and then doing up the top bolts.
Somebody did once suggest that its worthwhile getting the geometry checked after fitting, although I admit that I didn't bother.
