I presume you don't have instructions with it. Can you remeber who made it and have a look on their website. If no maybe looking on whiteline's wab page might help.

it bolts to the bottom of the rear subframe by the diff.

Some subframes dont seem to have the holes that others do though, so that may be where you are getting lost.

I'll see if I can find a photo

It fits to the bottom rear of the rear subframe, the bloody great black bit.
The curve of your stiffener bar follows the curve of the subframe behind the diff.

The feet with the two holes in each end SHOULD bolt to a flat bit of steel right next to the rear lower suspension arm mounting point.
As I said earlier though the holes in this said "flat bit of steel" on the subframe are sometimes not there, in that case you'd have to drill them yourself.

Are you on a wind up. If you cant work it out from there then you best leave it alone.
