I would install a Monte Carlo bar and a one piece Export brace so the sagging wont come back. Its about 100-200 fix depending on what you buy.


First thing you will need to do is get your floor jack and place it right in front of the radiator on the solid frame support. Jack the car high enough up so both wheels are off the ground. This will remove any flex from towers. Give it about 2-3 hours, then you can start your install.

You'll probably need to jack the car up at the rear end of each front frame rail, under the seat, to get them on. Don't jack it and wait a week like some folks, unless your car is wood it won't help to wait.

Yeah try the jack stand way first mine i had to use a bottle jack and some 2x4 to get it spread enough.

Andrewmp6, What did you brace your 2x4 and bottle jack to. The shock tower is tapered toward the top and I would think that in would just slip up as the jack was cranked. I have the same problem and tried to jack the car up from undernieth but it didn't move and Would love to here your cure in a little more detail.

Thanks, CLiff
