Sorry:/ I might sell my car and part it out. Not much to offer though. But I know this carries value. I might keep the car but it depends on where my next duty station is.

I guess there was some people reporting that the strut bar shifted after some time on the vehicle.

The gen 1 unit mounted over the shock tower brackets\spacers.

On the gen 2 unit the center hole over the shock tower was bored out and replaced the brackets\spacers.

This was to eliminate it moving on the tower.

I have a gen 1 and have never seen it move or shift, people suspect gen 2 was introduced to quell the speculation. The movement was never verified as an issue.
