![Question](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Just installed the rear STB and am unsure if I did it right. Should the connecting bar rattle when you grab it? I don't hear any noise when I drive it, but I am not sure if my 'interpreter' told me everything the Japanese directions contained, especially since he is Chinese?
Should it be tight to the touch? I want to get it right before I put the carpet back in.
Thanks.

Mine's on tight. Just make sure you've tightened the connecting bolts tight enough.

Thanks.
I torqued the bolts to the strut tower at 41 pounds, they're good, I think.
When I rotate the connecting bar it just shifts the entire rod left or right and the 'locknuts' are just tightened enough to keep the rod in place, so there is an equal sized gap on each side. Am I making sense?
Thanks for any insight, maybe it's fine, or I am missing something very basic in the install logic!?
