Anti Roll bar Links

Post by coolrunnings »

First time in a few years that i have had one of these fail, but i have the cranked type, J11420. From the JK website these are sold without the bushes, couple of questions.

1/ Do i use the existing bushings
2/ Any tech help available on how to remove/replace these, i seem to remember it being a battle getting the bush/crank arm assemble over the swaged end of the roll bar. I think it was possible to get the bush alone over but not with the crank arm on.

Cheers

Mr Baxter advised me to put the arb in a bench vice and then use a ratchet strap to pull the link with bush already fitted onto it. Personally I'd buy from him rather than JK as you know the quality will be good and fit new bushes whilst it's all apart for the little extra outlay. They have the polybushes back in stock too now.

I still haven't done mine though to be honest; removed the whole arb set up and put it in the shed and keep forgetting about it :oops:
What a long strange trip it's been

bit of grease on all surfaces.

push the bush half on the arb.

pust the link onto the bush.

rotate the bush 180 degrees whilst pushing .

always worked for me!

also have 2nd hand drop links hear, much cheaper than new!
