    INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS S/S COMPETITION TRACTION BARS P/N'S: C2101, C2201, C2103 & C2203 Competition Engineering Leaf Spring Traction Bars are designed especially for use in drag race classes that require a bolt-on traction device such as Stock Eliminator and Bracket Racing. These bars will eliminate wheel hop and improve traction by applying the force which normally produces unwanted tire spin into a downward force where the tire meets the pavement. These bars are capable of handling horsepower levels up to 450hp. They are designed with a snubber location that is positioned directly under the front spring eye bolt, eliminating spring damage and increasing the lever effect on the rear tires. NOTE: These traction bars may not work with the stock rear sway bar on some vehicle models. We recommend that you modify the bar to fit or remove it.

Allow the rear housing to hang down with its weight on the springs. 3) Disconnect the shock absorber at the lower mounting point. Remove the stock lower spring plates and U-Bolts. NOTE: When replacing U-Bolts with the supplied J-Bolts, you must use either the factory T-Bolt or a 1/2" Grade 8 bolt.

SERVICE MANAGER q © 2019 Subaru of America, Inc. All rights reserved. SERVICE BULLETIN APPLICABILITY: 2018-19MY STI NUMBER: 04-25-19R SUBJECT: Torque Steer Diagnostics and Repair Procedure DATE: 04/25/19 REVISED: 08/28/19 INTRODUCTION: The primary focus of this bulletin is to provide a procedure to follow when diagnosing a customer concern of Torque Steer, defined as a pulling condition to either the left or right when under full acceleration which requires a somewhat greater than standard correction of steering wheel input from the driver to counteract. As part of this diagnosis, it will be necessary to first eliminate two other conditions a customer may misinterpret as torque steer. These are: Steering Pull and Steering Off-Center. This will prevent incorrect or over-repair, both of which can negatively impact customer satisfaction. This bulletin applies only in cases where the original factory equipment wheels, tires, and all suspension components are currently installed and, the outlined condition is confirmed to be present. SERVICE PROCEDURE / DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION: Definition of Terms: • Torque Steer: A pull to either the left or right during full acceleration (high engine torque) which requires a somewhat greater than standard steering wheel input from the driver to counteract and keep the vehicle moving straight ahead. • Steering “Pull”: A tendency for the vehicle to pull or “drift” to the left or right while at speed (not under acceleration) and holding the steering wheel straight ahead.

In the past, such drift, or ‘pull’, would havebeen attributed to side-to-side braking torque variation[ 1], but modern automotive friction brakes and friction materialsare now ableto provide braking torque with such high levelsof consistency that side-to-side braking torque variationis no longer regarded asacause of steering drift during braking. Consequently, other inuences must be considered. This paper isthe rst of two papers to report on anexperimental investigation into braking-related steering drift in motor vehicles.Parameters that might inuence steering drift during braking include suspen- sion compliance and steering o set, and these havebeen investigated to establish the sensitivity of steering drift to such parameters.
