Rear Lower Tie bar

[95vtecsrus]

The guy before me that had the car installed a rear lower tie bar on the car and it F*cked up the alignment of the rear tires and they are cupped all to hell. My question is IF i take that bar out, will i have to get it re-aligned or will it just center everything back up and ill just get some more tires for the back

a rear lower tie-bar dosn't do shit for alignment buddy. get an alignment, adjust your toe and camber. get a camber kit if you're worried about the tires wearing.

it was your car. this new car you speak of wasn't. you just got it right? you don't know how it was driven and or if it even got a alignment.

cupping of the tires would be due to improper balancing, not your alignment settings.

this is true. i dont know how it was driven or if the tires are balanced right...ill have to check that out asap. i know this is off subject though...but where does the o2 sensor plug-in...the one that is inside the cat?? i see it just goes up through a little gromnmet in the floor...

iirc you should have one that plugs into your header/exhaust manifold and one right after your cat.

yeah...i was wondering where the one after the cat plgs up at...i just seen the wires going through the floor and wonderingv where the plug is

i dont know exactly, get underneath the car. There will be a kinda thick wire clipped (mabye) to the inside of the exhaust tunnel, just follow that until it plugs into the exhaust.

well i found where it leads to...pull back the carpet that covers the SDM module and the plug for the 02 sensor is tucked all the way down in the carpet. thanks for your help
