2001 Pontiac Trans Am

The new 21mm solid antiroll bar is assembled using the provided poly mounting bushings and new brackets (gold), and bolted to the rear-but not fully tightened yet. We found that with the car in the air, the antiroll bar ends were at a severe angle compared to the brackets on the car, so to get the end links in, we had to put the car on the ground and crawl underneath (larger and/or claustrophobic individuals can use jackstands, of course). BMR advises it is best to tighten these bolts while on the ground anyway, to prevent suspension binding when the car is lowered down. Even with the car on the ground, we found the supplied bolts weren't quite long enough to get the nuts started on the end, so we bought new 6 1/2-inch long, 3/8-inch bolts (about 1/2 inch longer than those supplied), to give us more thread to start on.
