whiteline rear anti roll bar users

[mikeyb]

just a quick question for all the anti roll bar users. when marking where to put the L shaped brackets on the chassis, did you do it when the wheels were on and the car on the deck or when it was jacked up? only reason im asking is if the cars jacked up wouldnt they be in the wrong placed once the cars back on the floor? thanks for any help

I left the wheels off, and tried to get them as close to vertical as possible.

Leave all the blots lose, put the wheels back on and let the car sit on the ground and tighten the bolts up as per the instructions.

Its worth getting another 2xpieces of angle iron for additional chassis support and hamerite paint to tidy up the holes..

so u lined the L brackets up and drilled the holes with it jacked up. what did u do with the angle iron?

After jacking the car up, put a pair of axle stands under the axle, then let the weight of the car sit on these.
That then gives you the height at which your car will sit at on the road, and the proper position for your ARB.

Obviously take the wheels off for easy access.

azerty, did you add any angle iron to the other side of the hole in the chassis for additional support ?

wheels off, and jacked up, made the links line up level with the shocks and put the holes there

thanks for the advice everyone that clears that up abit, lol. as for the angle iron im thinking of having the L shaped brackets welded for added security.
