Whiteline front ARB
Ive got a whiteline front ARB and links, and it seems to me to be too small, anyone else noticed this...also are they supposed to make the odd clunking sound? it sounds awful!!!!
Hey Shane! think I saw you on the road the other night, the car looks good!
I have whiteline front and rear anti roll bars....how do you mean it seems too small, Im thinking you might have the wrong front drop links if you've upgraded them too? I would have thought you have alloy front wishbones and therefore will need the ball jointed droplinks...can you get a pik of what you mean?
The droplinks could account for the clunking noise too, I had a clunk for a while but it was because the near side drop link came loose slightly after abit of use.

lol yea it was at night, I was in my dads car so you wouldnt have noticed...it did look like a beast with the carbon bonnet and boot!
The droplinks for the alloy wishbones are different, I made the same mistake because, even know mine isnt an STi, I also have the alloy wishbones?
The standard ball-jointed wishbones on mine are solid anyway, metal rod connects the two ball joints, Find your old drop links and they should be ball jointed so the ends move freely...if they are the metal ones like I have they are just as good as solid whiteline ones, whiteline do also make ball jointed droplinks but they aint cheap and are adjustable and I didnt go for these as I wouldnt know how to set them up best!
The chunky, whiteline droplinks would sit at a very strange angle on the alloy wishbones and wont do you much good, lol.... Get us a pik of you old drop links and how your anti-roll bar looks and I will let you know.

Yer there the wrong ones... thats why they sit funny because the tab on the alloy wishbones are at an angle and the ones on the normal wishbones are straight hence why it pulls the top inward.
It does say on the description
you either need the ones like in Grahams Pik above or stick with the STi ball jointed metal links like I did. They dont look as fancy though....

It does say on the description
The standard front anti roll bar links as fitted to the Impreza (not STi) from 1994 to 2002 are made of plastic. These are prone to flexing, thus reducing the rate of the front & rear anti roll bars or worse, failure.
