Assuming it's the bracket that holds the bushings and bar to the frame, I wouldn't sweat torque specs.

graaahhh! well old bushings SUCK to remove... on top of that i think someone cross threaded the damn bolts into the sub frame... its going to be a long night of throwing tools and cussing at the car...
anyways so you all get a laugh at me... it was raining today so i pulled the car into the garage to swap the sway bar... well its a 1 car garage so im gunna have one heck of a time pulling the new one out and putting the old one in. ------------- saving the world, one warship at a time. |

i just burn out control arm bushings now rusty k member bolts ugh i hate them they love to break the welded nuts loose and you have to cut a hole in the floor board to get to them you really should look into getting a haynes manual for torque specs i myself have an fsm and love it its expensive but anything and everything about your car will be in there ------------- 95 base neon 3.0 cai, knifedged crankshaft 60 mill throttle body,14 crane cam crane springs/retainers eagle rods port matched/ polished intake p&p head shaved .015 phantom grip diff dohc exuast |

yea... i just have crap luck...
right TRE is back on left TRE is replaced, sway back is replaced. sketched out about the torque on the right TRE, brackets, and end links. left tre has a cotter pin so im good. tuesday il have an alignment done. saterday il have my inspection done, and my recall (front rocker cover gasket). i just prey to god none of the mechanics mess up my car... (its ok if i break crap cuz i fix it and its still cheaper than having it done at a shop) edit: on the way home i was in the left lane moving. the highway ends and splits left and right, mid lane can go either way. dude jumps over and guns it right before the split. i slow down to about 60 not really wanting to race (i just drive fast). dude slowed down to match then i the rice can light up and he starts to pull away. i drop it down to 3rd and gun it. ive been really surprised at how fast my car really is. i know i can take a v6 camaro and ive played around with my gf in her stang. (we both agree that my cars faster) i dont think theres a dodge without a v8 i couldent take... (note i only drive fast or mess around when no one else is around with the exception of the person that wants to race) ------------- saving the world, one warship at a time. |

00 grand prix GTP 3.8L supercharged V6 240hp 280Ftlb stock...
im going to up the power some and i know its not a super powerful car but not many people think of it as muscle. edit: looking at the stats for the SRT4 you might have me but it all depends on the weight. and gears. all the mopars ive been in had to rev high to do anything. ------------- saving the world, one warship at a time. |

did you actually use an srt motor or a 2.4 out of a cirrus/stratus/breeze or a pt cruiser?
2.4 turbo first gens tend to be significantly faster then actuall srt-4's... first gens are alot lighter. |

yeah, my first car was a neon... daath isnt really ringing a bell.
did you do the whole electrical system swap, stand alone, or get one that never had sentry key enabled? always kinda wanted to do a 2.4, but then some idiot made me total my neon so probably wont happen... maybe sometime. |

i had to buy a new pcm to get rid of sentry key i had kind of over looked that when i first did the swap got all stoked to start her up and nothing had to go out get a new pcm all my stuff was donored out of a srt that was smashed in rear you have no idea of the mess of wires i have got going through out the engine bay i really need to clean it up even a 2.4 swap out of a stratus is a great hop up so much more torque behind it ------------- 95 base neon 3.0 cai, knifedged crankshaft 60 mill throttle body,14 crane cam crane springs/retainers eagle rods port matched/ polished intake p&p head shaved .015 phantom grip diff dohc exuast |
