[DeTomaso] Spreader bar

[Julian Kift]

I think the key is to lock the spreader in place prior to 4 wheel alignment and then set your rear camber and toe. Check alignment again if you have to remove the bar at any point.

Much like the front upper ball joint (resolved with camber lock plates) the rear bar can move over time in the slotted holes as most spreader bars do not butt against the shock towers to maintain a fixed position.

Agree! Looking good

While on the subject of Spreader Bar,
just wondering if any one measures the spread between the upper arm or shock pivots to adjust.

I think it looks very nice and major improvement over stock.

Good Day All:
I never liked the “raw” ends of the spreader bar so I made some covers.
This is first try.  I will fine tune another set but I am please with first go around.
