i've fitted strut braces to a couple of different makes of car and all of them have had strut top mounts with studs, which obviously go through the holes in the strut towers in the engine bay and a fixed with a nut etc.
having got strut braces on order for my tdi, i've been having a look underneath the bonnet to see what i need to move out of the way to fit the top brace and have noticed that rather than studs coming up through the strut top mounting point SEAT have used bolts going through down into the top mounts.
my question (after a very long winded description i know!) is, if i remove the 3 bolts going into the top mounts on either side of the engine bay, so i can locate my strut brace, are the struts located firmly enough on the underside and so will not slip out of alignment whilst fitting the brace?
only had my tdi130 a week so i don't know every nut and bolt yet!
