Whiteline ARB fitting?

[Macca_172]

I've just received my Whiteline adjustable ARB and I'm a little confused as I think it may be the wrong fitting kit.
The "drop links" I expected to see were like an eye-bolt i.e.
Eye at one end to attach to the ARB and threaded at the other end to fit to the bracket from the bottom shock mount.

What I got was the L shaped bracket to come off the shock mounts and 2 figure of eight links. They have a bush at either end so I assume one end could attach to the ARB but the top bush is at right-angles to the bracket from the shock.
Have I missed something or have I got the wrong fitting kit?
The kit listed is BRR10Z, what arrived was 3RR10Z.
Help needed quick as I hope to attend a track day Friday so not much time to order replacements.
Thanks
Col

Did you get this from Fred?

Hi Warren,
No I didn't, I missed the GB so ordered it from Balance as I really wanted it for Friday based on all the positive reports.

I'll take a pic of mine fitted close up, see if that helps. Give me 2 mins!

 

[Macca_172]

That will be fantastic.
Just as a little add on, has yours got 2/3 adjustments?
Not sure why, but I thought they had 3 setting but mine only has 2.

Has 2 holes, but you can also adjust it using the 2 lock-bolts.

You're linking the two rear wheels with a bar via a droplink, this in turn makes the rear end stiffer.

Improves handling and gives you more confidence.

As above, makes the whole car feel more precise.

is ther not already a bar that does this though? or is this one stiffer/no flex ect..

Yes theres one in the back axle, your just adding a secondry one to stiffen up the rear end

owwwwwwww i was under impresion this replaces the stndrd arb? making more sence now lol

 

[Macca_172]

Warren,
Thanks very much for that.
Yes, thats what I was hoping to get but its not what turned up, inplace of the 2 drop links I have a round bar, bent into a figure 8 with a yellow bush in each hole.
I will have to contact balance in the morning to see if they can get me the correct one out in time
Thanks again,
Col

there is an adjustable and a non-adjustable. maybe you have recieved the non as the pics seem the other end is only how it is so you can adjust the length

 

[Macca_172]

Hi Aron,
The main adjustment is done by moving between the mounting holes in the end of the Bar, they have 2 locations to choice from.
I wonder if the mounting kit I have is for the non-adjustable version?
Saying that I would think that the fitting to the shock mount would be the same for both?
