I took the cross bar of my JCW front strut bar off tonight in order to get to my intake and noticed that one end is bent. There is a noticable downward bend in the bar on the left side where it would cross over the intake/fuse box area.

I don't remember it being bent when I installed it. Is this normal?

Do you have any mushrooming on your shock towers??

Nope, none that I can tell.

Someone over on NAM said it is suppose to be that way. I just don't remember it, but then again, I do have a touch of CRS these days.:eek:

I was going to install my JCW intake today, but noticed that the inspection sticker is due this month. So, I'm just going to let Flow do the inspection, install the intake, and take a look at the strut bar to see if it is a problem or not.

Don't worry, the small downward bend is supposed to be there for air/fuse box clearance
