FAQ'S
What is the advantage of
using a HICAS lock bar?
The HICAS lock bar
replaces the standard unit and gives you more predictability of the rear of
your vehicle. A must if you plan on drifting your car or taking it to the
track.
What does HICAS actually
do?
The HICAS system is
meant to help with handling however given that the technology is 20 or so years
old, it’s certainly not great and is hated by most. Chances are if you have
felt HICAS work while driving with a bit of excitement, you want to remove it
ASAP!
How do I know if my car
has HICAS or not?
HICAS equipped cars have
a power steering reservoir level sensor built into the cap and two wires and a
float inside the reservoir. If you lift off the power steering cap with those
wires the HICAS light will turn on when you start the car. Looking under the
rear of the car you will also find hydraulic hoses and another steering rack
device hooked to the differential and the rear suspension to steer the rear
wheels. When the key is turned on and motor not started the warning lights come
on (HICAS) light shows up then too.
Will this HICAS lock bar
fit my car?
We can only guarantee
fitment for the vehicles listed above under "Vehicle Compatibility".
If your car is not listed there then we don't know if it will fit your car.
Please don't ask us as we do not know the answer.
Will my HICAS light stay
on if I install this HICAS lock bar?
Yes, the HICAS light on
your dash will stay on if the ECU thinks that it’s not working correctly. This
can easily be resolved by removing the bulb for the HICAS warning light behind
the dash.
Is there anything else
that I need to install this HICAS lock bar?
No, everything required
is included (minus tools, obviously).
