I've fitted a 24mm rear ARB to my 2006 STI and am very pleased with it.

However, I've noticed that it slides around alot in it's mounts.

I know you can get lock out rings to keep it in place, does anyone use these? Are they supposed to help?

I thought i needed the same but on a closer inspection it turned out that the ends of the bar wernt lining up very well with the mounting points for the drop links so whenever i cornered the loading on the one side was trying to move the bar sideways rather than getting it to twist as it should.
Once i removed the bar it was obvious that it was bent on the right hand side which was causing the issue. Might be worth having a look underneath yours. I'll have a look and see if i still have the pics I took of mine clearly showing the issue.

Heres the Nearside:


and the Offside:


Note how the link is almost vertical on the nearside but at a sharp angle on the offside - whenever there is any loading on that side the link tried to move the bar sideways.

But in general, doesn't the bar always move sideways when cornering? from the design it looks like it's designed to do this

Can anyone else confirm this?
