Yeah, what about the rear bars? If they dont, then Hotchkis did a half hearted effort at improving this?

When I called them about six months ago, they said they didnt want to weld anything on a hollow tube, looks like they finally figured out to follow OEM designs.

The rear bar does not have collars. I'm not sure it needs them as much as the front, though.

I don't believe the collars are even necessary in the rear, but they are necessary in front. Otherwise the bar can shift all the way to one side and make a terrible squeeking noise.

Dang... I ordered my bars last month and got 3 holes no collars on em... sucks. Oh well I will probably just order the collars from mcmasters or whatever its called.

What did you pay for the new bars? Wondering if the price is still the same...
