I just recieve a Strut Tower Bar off from a personal sale. It came from a supra owner who was parting out and was made by Cusco.
When I installed it, the Bar is applying pressure to the idle adjustment screw housing. Before, when I started the car, the engine would torque flex whenever reved up from the engine bay. Now with the strut tower bar, the engine does not flex but the whole front end does a little and whenever idling, the inside of my car shakes and vibrates. (I know this is from the increased rigidity of the car but it is annoying)
My question is, should the bar be applying so much pressure to the idle adjustment housing that it stops torque flexing? is this normal? has anybody else had this problem? should I add a few washers to raise the height of the STB?
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
