no on the back, sounds very similar to mine. I just popped the little access panel off and put the brace over the strut. then whilst gripping the strut under the wheel arch, i tightened the top bolt over the brace using a deep socket. i'll go and dig out the pics. | |

to put the rea one on you have to remove then plastic trim, slot it over the strut brace, undo the top nut on the shocks, slide the strut brace on, do it up using an impact wrench and airline, then put all the plsatic back. | |

quote: dream on, to put the rear one on you have to remove the plastic trim cos there isnt enough space to fit an impact wrench in other wise, it cant be fitted using a spanner. then you have 2 more to fit which might require moving some engine components. | |
