Whiteline ARB fitment

[Luigi172]

Hi guys, fitted my whiteline last night- put it straight in hard setting but the drop links look at a funny angle.. Do I twist the l shape bracket on the shock around to match the angle of the links?

 

[Budgie]

Yep, adjust the bracket to be straight on and job done.

Use a pair of grips to hold the bracket at the correct angle while you tighten the shock bolt or it'll move round as it tightens.

I would yes..

Cheers guys!
Will adjust that bracket tonight and finish fitting the cooksports on the front with PMs top mounts and brace

should be a nice little setup when finished... chop chop

I will post some pics when done- got track day at donington coming up so will do a little write up on the setup

I did wonder this when I fitted my White line ARB, I have mine on medium, the end holes. Moving to the inner hole, hard, and then moving the braket so everything is all aligned would this negate the hard setting of the ARB?

I would have though it all should be straight down. I don't know just thinking out loud.

The first time I fitted it on soft setting, with the 'L' shaped bracket as is in the pic- the drop link was perfectly straight down but when moved over to the hard setting the drop link is at an angle (picture in post) so I assume you just alter the L bracket to straighten up the drop link.

Ah, yes, so I'm wondering now the connection to the ARB is now further forward but the drop link is moved to accommodate this, is this not giving the same effect as on soft with the drop link straight down.

Not saying anything is wrong or you've fitted wrong. Maybe I'm over thinking things.

Yes over thinking as I see it, its the leverage on the actual bar that matters , mounting (within reason) has no bearing.
