Installing white line heavy duty mounts
hi guys I have installed the white line heavy duty rear arb mounts. Just wondering how tight the hex bolts need to be (holds arb to mount). It seems like you can’t get a lot of purchase on them and I am scared of chewing the hex thread. Do they need to be super tight? Any tips on best tool to tighten up. also I noticed the washers do not siit completely flat — seems to be a bit big and bend a little round shape of mount - do I need to have them completely flat? Thank you! |
anyone?
|
I fitted the heavy duty mount to my classic, i didnt haver any such difficulties in tightening up the arb mount cup to the mount itself etc, have you fitted the mounts the right way round ?
|
Same, mine went on with no problems. They all went very hand tight.
|
Ok guys, I will have a look at them again.
I installed the mounts with the ribs facing the rear of the car - is that correct? I think the washers were a little off, meaning that they tightened down not completely flat. I will undue and redo them again. So hand tight is good enough for those brackets which hold the arb itself? Thanks again! |
I didn't do mine up with a breaker or a torque wrench, just as hard as I could with a standard ratchet by hand.

I followed this guide http://www.perth-wrx.com/vb/mechanic...nts-links.html
It states to point the strengthening rib towards rear of car. Looks like this guides tells you to install strengthening rob towards rear of car - this contradicts whitelines instructions - off they come again then unless anyone confirmed the rib should face rear of car |

Arb strength ribs all facing front of car |
Not quite as simple as that I’m afraid I purchased mine in 2013 they are indeed marked left & right however the holes don’t line up if turned around .. so in saying that ... I can gather my evidence & whiteline are liable A cost of remove B replace under manufacturing error C compensation |
Whiteline stated both mounts are identical. Its just that the ribs require to face front.
Just passing on the information but it is still very hazy! If you place the mounts on the wrong side, with ribs facing forward, you will not be able to bolt down the bar. Words of Whiteline themselves Where are they marked left and right? https://www.whiteline.com.au/docs/in...ides/Z5031.pdf |
Sorry to jump on your thread, but this is typical of Whiteline; confusing and out of date instructions, links with varying degrees of striction, paint that peels and rusty steel, extraction tools missing, and now a bush failure within 9 months. This is my experience having spent £££s with them.

Is there a point to HD ARB mounts? mine appear original on my car and are 15 years old and still going strong. Is it just because they are pretty that people buy them or is there a purpose like they move the ARB to a slightly different position etc?
