Strut Bar problem
Anyone have a problem with their strut bar rubbing the top of the alt. when they put it on. I put one on yesterday and noticed it resting on top of alt. Time to get the grinder out

no, re-adjust the strut bar so that it does not hit.
No grinding needed...
and you took your car somewhere to put on a front strut bar???

mine just hit the intake manifold,
so I took the bar off and turned it upside down and rested the ends on 4x4 wood blocks, stood in the middle to bend it just a hair so it would clear and its been fine ever since....
