I I have these anti roll bar links and they come like this:



As you can see they only come with 2 metal washers and 2 rubber bushes.

I seem to remember the original anti roll bar links had a rubber bush either side of the top bracket. However I don't think this configuration can be right with only 2 metal washers. Surely if it is like this there should also be metal washers in the places I have labelled "no washer" on the photo? Is there something wrong? How should the configuration be?

Both sides of both bushes must be supported by a flat surface that covers the whole face of the bush. Those washers look ideal to go between the bush and the nut. I don't see the point of a washer between the bush and the mounting flange if the flange extends beyond the bush, as it seems to in that photo.

That lower washer should be on the bottom of the lower bush. The top one is correct.

What car is it out of interest ?

So Is the following photo is correct? I don't know why, but I seemed to remember 4 washers from the original, but I am probably imagining it.

As above - if in doubt a washer has an accompanying nut. Look like useful drop links though, what car?
