anti roll bar
Posted: 15 Jan 2011, 11:12
Hi,
On my '85 I have to replace the rubber bushes on the end of the anti roll bar at the top of the drop link. I have straight drop links as expected on an '85, but the roll bar is 21mm diameter, as would be expected on a pre '84. The roll bar also appears a bit narrow, but that could be just the drop links over tightened at the bottom, as its only a few mm by eye.
I wondered if the anti roll bar has been changed at some point to the earlier one, but not the drop links, or would the difference in length make that impossible?
Its not a big stress because I can buy the earlier 21mm bushes and they will fit, just whether a slight difference in overall length is what's causing them to fail.
Thanks for any help,
Jon
