Anti roll bar position

Morning folks! I am replacing the anti roll bar and drop link bushes on my van but a seed of doubt has crept in as to which way round the anti roll bar should go back in. I should have labelled it I know! Could anyone with the same van/anti roll bar confirm if it goes this way: https://www.brickwerk...

Re: Anti Roll Bar and Drop Link Bush Replacement Video

Hi folks :D Can I first of all thank you James for taking the time to produce this excellent video! I was wondering if anyone knows the correct torque setting for the nut on the bottom of the drop link? I have the kinked/cranked ones if that makes any difference. Many thanks as always everyone! :)

I fitted the Vw Speedshop stainless system two years ago and am very pleased with it.

Torque Wrench Recomendations

Afternoon all! As the subject title says, can anyone recommend a decent torque wrench that would cover everything on our vans?

Thanks for that Midlifecrisis. Am I right in saying that about a dozen clips are required to hold it together?

Re: Budget for bodywork?

I, along with many other people have asked this same question here many times. It's really hard to get a straight answer as there are so many variables.

Re: Dash Out

Washer pipe - good thinking. Any idea where you can get them? Is it just a length of standard tubing?
