I just got mine installed, the front that is as I am waiting on the bracket for the rear. I have a question about it though. I installed mine with the brackets that ZZP sells for it, been working great. However I noticed yesterday that when you put the car in reverse, the alternator actually smacks the bar if you put too much gas too it. It sounds terrible, but I think a lot of the noise is vibration from the engine transferring into the bar and its resonating (this is a 3100 by the way).

 

Has anyone else had this issue, if so how did you go about fixing it?

 

I know that I can just reverse gently, and I do now but not everyone will, especially if I need to bring it in for service. I don't want them reverse like a bat out of hell and damaging something.

crazy question, but did you install the bar with the angled-side facing forward?

 

D'OH! Apparently in my exciment to get the thing on I failed to realize that it was angled and that needed to be forward. :redface:

 

Now that it is installed properly and not backwards its working great :lol:

 

Here's to excited stupidity overcoming proper thought! LOL
