Fitting Whiteline front alloy Droplinks
Got some Whiteline alloy front droplinks last week and went about fitting them yesterday- just wondering if i did it correctly,heres what i done;
1; Removed wheel for easier access as i haven't got ramps
2;Put spare jack under alloy arm to help align new bolt
3; Removed old droplink
4; Fitted new droplink KLC32 ,but had to pull Arb towards myself to be able to get the washer/nut on
5; Tighten up bolts
6; Put wheel back on.
Repeated same for other side.
Took the car for a run and the 'knocking' had gone,looked under the car when i returned and noticed because i had to pull on the Arb's to allow the washer/nut to go on the bushes are now quite stretched,is this ok or should i have slackened the Arb bolts before fitting the droplinks?
Any advice appreciated.
