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 |

It would take a lot to bend a cast iron engine bar (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
I think it's just the large side (outboard end) bolts, but agree with McMark, that you should inspect all the components. Tail shift model bars will have the outboard rubber mounts and solidly mounted at the engine. Side shift bars have rubber mounts at the engine and solid outboard mounts. Post some pix and indicate if you have a tail or side shift trans (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
