Default Speed Direct spreader bar

I just got the speed Direct spreader bar, but I have a question, where does it attach to? I thought it went on the a-arms but there are no holes? I can't find anywhere were this would attach. Yes, I read the directions. Does any one have any clear pics?

The bar my strut attaches to is short with two holes, the one in their pic on the site is long and it looks like it attaches to the a-arms. Maybe I received the wrong one?

I'd give them a call. It doesn't sound right.

Thanks! Mine looks nothing liken that. The bar on mine is very short. I'll call them, it looks like they sent the wrong part or I bought the wrong part.

I got mine from Eckler`s, so I don`t know if it`s shark bite, or speed direct, but here`s mine...
it mounts right to the control arm bolts

Look at the second picture of my post: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1588745451. I think they sent you the version that works with their aluminum upper arms.
