So i have just replaced the front anti-roll bar droplinks which went on spot on but i also replaced the sway bar bushes as they looked fooked and then went for a little test drive and seems that something is wrong as one of my front wheels is rubbing on the inside??

Could it be the sway bar is slightly out of place and this is causing the wheel to rub?

First time i have ever done this so any help would be good?

Thanks

The sway bar should effect the geometry of the wheel at all only thing i can think of is did you have spacers?

Sway bar? Do you mean anti-roll-bar?

He does yes. I had the problem on mine, it's the droplink catching on the steering arm on full lock, nothing to worry about as it's only on full lock, but get some pics up with it on full lock just to make sure.

I was using cdf droplinks when it started, I've now switched to perrin droplinks and the problem has pretty much gone away, but it still rubs occasionaly but only on full lock when I'm reversing into my drive or parking spot so I don't worry about it

anti roll bar! and i will get pics up tomoz as i will be doin some bits to my car then!

Just a quick update! The wheels were not rubbing it was the bolts in the droplinks rubbing on the inside of the rim as i being a stupid Fu*k fitted the anti roll bar upside down lool. The droplinks were facing down instead of up.. Lesson learned tho
