Antiroll bar Re-fitting

[RS Williams]

Was wandering if there was any particular way to put the to middle clamps of the antiroll bar, where the rubber bushes are, back onto the car? if got the two bits on the bottom arms back on, but cant get the middle ones back :S

in simple terms its a b**ch! it all looks like it wont fit, you put them on, they dont fit, but u have to compress it down!

Mole Grips!

is it easyer when the car is on its wheels and up on ramps?

If you can get under your car when its on its wheels it needs lowering...

Its going to be easier on ramps, more rooms to move

 

[RS Williams]

yeah thats what i ment, put the car on its wheels then put it on a ramp to get under it, will it help or hinder?

One way or another the car needs to be elevated! Ramps is the easiest way to do this.

they will fit .

it took me hours but in the end we master'd it.

remove the curved clamp
get a vice and clamp the clamp.
get a round metal file and file the hole down so its alsomst at the base of the curve!
get some longer M8 bolts, nylon nuts and washers.
Try get a minium of 8.8 steel but 10.9 would be better
use a washer on each side and bolt them up tight.
you may need a clamp just to hold it whilst you get the longer bolt through


that will 100% work
