My cousin from Australia sent me a Christmas present - a strut bar for the Alfa 164 (also fits Fiat Croma). It's a bit early but I am not complaining. This thing is like any other strut bar on the driver side, but on the passenger side, it is Y-shaped and attaches to the dogbone mount. I immediately see 2 problems with it:
1)the rigid fuel line is right beside the dogbone mount so needs to be adjusted for the bar to be secured. Is this possible or safe to do?
2)the vertical screw on the dogbone has to be detached first. If this is under tension, could be a problem? Is this a major job requiring the engine to be jacked up?
If this thing works, I can have more sent over here. Will keep everyone posted.
