Strut bar presses on air boost valve. Please help

INFORMATION Integra Help
1

Just installed front strut bar and I noticed it was pressing on air boost valve (AKA dash pot) and the car shook at idle.

What’s the easiest way to solve this problem ?
I tried bending the bar and it didn’t budge.

Thanks in advance.

You could shim under the mounts. Thats what I did on my pos front bar.

Did you torch the corners while you bend them ?
My fear is I might snap it in 1/2.

Ben, what did you use as shim ?

Thanks again. :slight_smile:

Had the same problem with mine so I took it off. I’m guessing this is a generic bar. Mine was. The Neuspeed and Greddy bars are bent in a way to go around the dashpot.

I tried shimming with washers, but that didn’t work.
