Ok........Hm;first the bad part.
It is a little tricky to install especially with basic tools, so plenty of elbow grease involved and a little ingenuity. Getting under the carpet to install new support plates is not easy on later model 9000s. the bolt positioning makes it hard to access. One finds a way though, suggesting a couple of sockets the same size for either end and a second person to hold the upper bolt securely while you secure the lower support arm bolt from underneath the car. When attaching the bar, start off on the driver side main bolt attaching to shock and axle. Next go to passenger side of vehicle and attach the other side of the bar the the upper support bracket. That way it can hang leaving your hands free to fit the other main bolt through the axle and shock! The use of a jack is a must for aligning the bolts through the various eyes. A few light taps from a hammer will aid in pushing the bolt through. Hope this helps......
Now the fantastic part.....It was so worth the trouble!
The car corners much flatter with considerably less body roll and a much more positive steering response. It is almost slightly twitchy, and far less anticipation in cornering is required. I have been steering far too hard it seems! When you compare the puny AR bar that was removed, to the beefy bar that was subsequently put on, you will understand why this product is a must for any serious 9000 upgrader!
Thanks for reading.
