It connects on the brackets that hold your front sway bar.

Re: Wonderbar installation
drop the sway bar down... put the bar up to the same holes that the sway bar bolts to..... bolt sway bar back up..
Re: Wonderbar installation
1. Block rear wheels, jack up front of vehicle to good working height. Place jacks stands in a secure location.
2. Locate the front sway bar; loosen both ends links, one is located on the passenger side and the other on the driver’s side. Do not remove them, loosening them will allow you to lower the sway bar.
3. Remove all (4) bolts from the front sway bar bushings. Lower the sway bar enough to insert steering brace.
4. The steering brace has the correct holes to be bolted under the front sway bar. Insert the brace and line the holes in the correct location. One side is intended for the driver’s side and the other for the passenger side.
5. Swing the sway bar up into place. Use the OEM bolts removed and place the sway bar back into place. The bolts go through the sway bar and the steering brace. Loosely install all (4) bolts before tightening.
6. Tighten ends links and lower car to the ground.
If you need anything let us know.

Re: Wonderbar installation thanks its on now
Had a chance to drive it yet? How much of a difference does it make as far as how tight the steering feels? Or is it just a preventive measure to prevent the frame from cracking?

Re: Wonderbar installation thanks its on now
Alright, you convinced me. Got a TDS on the way as we speak. I have noticed quite a bit of steering box flex, but so far have not found any cracks. I'll have to give it a good once over while I'm down there to make sure I didn't miss any.
