[Tech] Neuspeed Lower Stressbar Caveat

[thescirocco@juno.com]

I found a loose A arm bolt on the '84½!

It was making an intermittent knocking noise, very similar to an axle, it
was cyclic and proportional to the road speed.

Turns out that a previous owner installed a Neuspeed lower stress bar
with the stock A arm bolts.
The ball ends are about 3/4" thick and it is absolutely necessary to use
longer A arm bolts.
The P.O. probably bought the bar used, since they come with longer bolts
from Neuspeed.
I installed 2 longer A arm bolts, and everything is fine again...

If anyone has a Neuspeed lower bar that someone else installed, you might
want to verify that you have the longer bolts.
