Hey Bullet,

Got your PM. This isn't normal and doesn't sound like it related to the strut bar either. There's no breaking in needed too. All you did was remove 6 nuts, install the bar and replace the nuts at 20lbs of torque.

Make sure they're tight enough but don't over do it. Several guys have snapped the bolts. 20 - 22lbs max.

There seems to be a shortage of the strut bar because DC Sport was purchased by Pilot Automotive and production is being transferred to China.

But there may still be some in stock.
I found my strut bar about a month ago using google, from Motorweb.com.
AEM Upper Strut Bar [Part#: CSB1102]

Here is a google search on the "CSB1102 chrysler 300c"
There are lots of hits.

how noticeable is the ride difference on a 5.7 ?? is it worth the money?
