Installation:
- Remove 4 nuts holding strut assembly to the body.
- Place bracket over studs with bracket upright toward front of car. [for the 944S, 944S2, and 968, please see note]
- Replace washers and nuts. Tighten to 18 ft-lbs. using an X pattern.
- Repeat for other side of car.
- Install bar on passenger side bracket and tighten. Hardware order is-bolt/washer/bar/bracket/washer/lock washer/nut. Install the bar on the front side of the bracket.
- Repeat for driver's side. For turbo's, the bar will slightly press in on the master cylinder heat shield. This is normal.
- Turn bar toward front of car to take up "slack". Tighten backing nuts.
Note: Installation of the 944S, 944S2, and 968 strut brace is the same except that the brackets should be to the rear of the strut tower - see pictures below:

KLA Disclaimer: Shut the hood gently to test clearances. DO NOT DROP OR SLAM THE HOOD! All cars are different and the strut brace may fit differently on your car. This is not a problem with 99.9% of the cars. But, KLA Industries will not be responsible for any damage. If you do have a fitment problem, please email or call so we can help determine where the problem is and help you solve it (digital pics in email are very helpful in these situations). If we can't get things just right to your satisfaction, we will let you return the strut brace for a refund.
Application: 924S, 944, 944 Turbo, and 944S, 944S2, 968 [attention to note]
