I've got the Pedro bar/technobrace and a side benefit is that it is always easy to get that plate on and off. The time I took it off before that bar i seem to recall I had to use a rubber mallet to "help" it along.

Upon Pedro's site... the technobrace... not available for Tiptronic equipped vehicles.

Why? Anyone?

Garage
Update

Well, I changed the suspension stuff this past weekend. I wasn't able to take pictures because of the time crunch. I only had from 4-6 Friday and 9-5 on Saturday to use the lifts and tools because that's the only time the garage is open for the shade-tree mechanics.

It was fairly straight forward on getting everything out except for the front and the tie-rod ends; I couldn't get them to release from the wheel carrier at all. But finally replaced all four lower control arms, all four struts and front drop links.
All of that still DIDN'T solve my thumping issues. I figured the tire was so badly cupped it would be trash. After the alignment at Firestone, before I purchased two new rear tires, the dude told me that my bearing was jacked and ruined.
So I am now going to replace the bearings this weekend.

Does anyone want to help? LOL. I'd love some tips for this though. I have another thread that I'll be trying to update.
Cheers!
