Hi all

How do you fit the rear antiroll bar ?
Do you have to disassemble the hubs or brake discs to fit through?
Then how do you fit the bushes around the bar is it a matter of brut force and dish washing liquid?
Thanks

From memory you can thread the ARB through without disassembling anything.
And yes, lots of water washing up liquid on the rubber bush to get it around the 90 degree bend.......just watch you knuckles!

You are right i tried to feed the antiroll bar from inside the chassis and after a few minutes it was in place just by having the wheels removed.
As for the bushes i will have to wait for the correct ones to be delivered hopefully next week so i can fit them on the bar and complete the installation

When pulling the new rubbers on, use plenty of washing up liquid and thread a tywrap through the bush to pull it over the blade..

Re rubbers........would silicon spray not be much better than washing up liquid????

Ideally something like Castrol Red Rubber Grease would be preferable as it doesn't harm the rubber bush
