s13 trunk tension rods

gregfarz78 · 07-27-2008, 09:20 PM

Anyone know how to install these? I had to replace mine should've snapped a pic of the old ones before I removed them

The FSM is no help either, anyone have a detailed pic of them installed?

Its a pain in the ass to get them back in, at least it was a pain for me and my buddy.

I figured as much I just need a diagram or a pic so I know how they need to go back in

not sure if thats the right name or not but only s13 coupe owners will have them its 2 metal bar things that hold the trunk lid open...the FSM refers to them as torsion bars

I think he refers to the lil bendy bars under the trunk. How did you mess those up?

Oh, they are pretty easy, someone took his out before he bought it... they are called springs. haha but put one in and it believe there are 4 hooks they go in, 2 on each side..and they criss cross, its been awhile since i did it, but wear goggles and bend the second one into place with a prybar or screw driver.
