Where does strut bar bolt to?
Hey guys, sorry the extremely naive sounding question but in installation videos ive seen, read, etc. they all show bolts protruding in the far corners under the hood. I've looked (and maybe I'm missing something) but where how the heck does a sway bar attach in the 12/13? TIA! you guys are always helpful

The bolts go into extra existing holes in the top of the strut tower.

I am guessing you will have to remove the scuttle panel to install it too.

I was able to install mine without removing anything, but you definitely have to get the car off the ground and have a second set of hands.

Dumb question: why did you have to lift the car Scott?

The bolt goes through the top of the strut tower, so you have to reach up into the wheel well to get up there to get the nut on. I found it much easier with the suspension unloaded.
