Ecrab OP Enjoying the ride E Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 684 Derby	Fitted 22mm Whiteline rear ARB today. The single bolt at each end of the ARB lined up OK, but to get the ARB centrally in between the 2 clamp bolts on each side required a hydraulic jack across the ARB before the clamps and bolts could be fitted. Is this usual or have a got a pooly made ARB

As nobby said, get it all ined up first then do the bolts on. i always clean up the bolts or replace them if required for high grade bolts. www.Poweritalia.com - The UK's leading Fiat Coupe Specialist

Duffy Unregistered D	I did mine last Thursday, it fitted well, I did have to jack the suspension up to ensure it was in an untensioned position before I could put the bolts in. I thought it was a good piece of kit

Duffy Unregistered D	I had a 24mm here (Which was supplied by mistake) despite the 2mm difference it needs different, fabricated, brackets and the rear brake balance spring mount would need to bemanufactured. It looked like a challenge, the 22mm was a doddle. Last edited by Duffy; 21/02/2011 22:06.

Although it wasn't all plain sailing. I had to wake up, get dressed and drive to Birmingham on the right day. I'd tell you about the day I did my cam belt (which involved some quite heavy traffic on the M6) but I don't want to show off ! Last edited by sandytim; 21/02/2011 23:28.
