Front Anti-Rollbar Droplinks

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

While the car was at rideheight I thought that I should get the droplinks for the front anti-rollbar. In actual fact I used the ones from the rear, as these were too long on the rear and I bought some female rosejoints to sort it. But on the front these fitted a treat!

Springs

Its always good to be prepared. To that end I have got myself a load of different springs for the font and rear. I am not sure which will be needed, but quite often we change springs for different trqacks, and obviously for wet/dry, so you end up with a load of different ranges!

Front Damper Spacers

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

Whilst sorting the front bump stops, I noticed, although I should have done before, that the front right damper was able to rotated just enough to rub the steering column. It was going to be a problem in itslef, like locking the column, but it was going to damage the canister, so I thought I whould stop it from being able to rotate enough. So I knocked up a couple of nylon spacers to limit the rotation.

Bump Stops

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

Now I have almost finished setting the car up. All that is left to do is the corner weights. But before I set these I thought it best to get some bump stops. I might not need them but seeing as I dont really know I thought if I had some I could experiment with them. So I had to remove the front dampers, disassemble them, slide on the bumpstop and then reassemble.

Front Anti-Roll Bar

Friday, August 7th, 2009

The front anti-roll bar is now on. I welded on some tags to stop it moving in the same manner as the rear. I have not made the drop links yet, I will do this when its on the floor, which hopefully wont be too long!
