Bottom brace..

Steevie Wonder · 07-11-2006, 15:14

Anyone got any pics of their bottom front suspension brace for an Octy mk.1 vRS?
Just got one and was wondering where and how it goes on.

Cheers all

i'll email them to you they are a bit crap their off my phone but you can get the idea
basically you need to jack car up then use a scissor jack to hold the brace in place
it will only fit in one place the foam bit points toward the ground
do the bolts up to 70nm torque any more question just ask
pm me with your email adress

Hope this helps.

Have you fitted the top brace yet?

Cheers for that Si

Haven't fitted either yet, hopefully will get a*se into gear next week and get them slung on then.

I can’t help but think the bottom brace will foul on the engine stabiliser bar as I seem to recall the bracket hanging down quite low, what vehicle/engine is it in the picture mate?

Others I have seen have quite a kink in them, rather than being straight….nout a big ommer couldn’t sort I’m sure!!!
