Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone can help me out. I am trying to install the torsion bars (black bars that help the trunk open) in the trunk of my S14 and have no idea how to do it. I have a FSM but that doesn't talk about it either. Any help would be great. Thanks.
BTW, I searched and can't find anything.

 

you mean the struts?

 

I am pretty sure they are not struts. Wingless trunks have these two bars that criss-cross that help the trunk open when you pull the lever. Attached is the diagram.

 

oh, sorry no clue> never had a coupe!

 

my trunk has a wing and it has those, not anyhelp, but just figured i'd say. i will go look at mine and see how you cna do it.

btw, how come they arnt already in the trunk......

 

ok, well i went and looek, i think you are gonna have to take the part number 15s in your diagram dunno what they are called, off , i beleive they come off from inside the car, then put the bars in the while those are off, then man handle those thing back in there, i can take pics of what they look like, but it will be on a cell phone, just let me know.

 

If you would like we have a meet this friday and there will be some S14s there. I will take some pictures and figure the swap out for you.

 

The guy I bought the car from Dynomatted the trunk and I guess it was too heavy for it to open.

Any pics would be great. I just can't find any out there that give me a clue on how they should be.
Thanks for any and all the help.

 

well, i just tried to take some pics with my phone(the only camra i have) and it just didnt work, so i will try to get a real camra, unless someone gets some pics before me

 

Appreciate that. Can't believe that no one else has gone through this.
