Hey guys I need some advice. My engine bar is bent backwards towards the rear of the car. The bar itself looks fine, but the two bolts are angled about 60 degrees instead of 90. My shift linkage is rubbing but isn't causing any problems.
My question is... Should I use a big pry bar and bent it back to vertical or do I need to drop the bar and do something at the mount area? I don't want to weaken the bolts or the mounts more. Are the mounts rubber and they just need to be re seated? Thanks for any help |

speed bump backwards should do it.. Tail shifter or side shifter ? If a side shifter, the rubber motor mounts at the center should at least be checked for separation. The bolts at the ends of the bar often survive but the two mounting pieces that attach the bar and the body will be deformed. Remove and flatten the area in the middle where the bolt goes through. While you're at the anvil flatten the outside washers as well. Then the bar will be upright. Probably best to replace the bolts just to be safe. Tail shifter ? Not damaged as often, but when it is it can be much worse. Check the four bolts that attach to the block, if they appear loose or dislodged the block is probably damaged. Good luck |
