I redid the rear rear subframe braces today, swapping the big washer to the suggested location in the instructions, then doing the final tightening/checking of all nuts n bolts using a torque wrench to factory spec ;-).

Bond wrote:Just had a quick look at the mounts under the back of my wagon. I'd say some re-enforcement of that sway bar mount would be crucial because the weld the holds it on is pretty piss small. Any decent amount of twist on that from a larger sway bar could definitely have the potential to break it.

Great mod :good:

yeah mine have snaped twice ill look in to doing the same

I get the impression that the rear subframe braces have improved my wags bumsag a little :-)

Unfortunately I don't have before mod Center to guard measurements to verify that claim.
If any members have a high K (+100K) postFL GT-B wagon on stock billies & black springs, please post your rear Center to guard measurement :D
