Default Advice needed on a classic



Just replaced my shocks and eibach pro kit also alloy arms and a alk but heard a slight knock and found the anti roll bar link had pulled the bush out getting some cdf solid ones will this fix the issues I'm having.



And when I turn I can hear a sound like the springs moving is that normal?

Thanks

With the alloy front arms if you fit the cdf links make sure you fit the spacers included to keep the link aligned. Thatll prevent it pulling through

Anti lift kit i got that noise that sounded like springs rattling, i got it when reversing, nothing to worry about

Thanks are the cdf ones wider as I cannot get the link anywhere near the bolt.

Also I think it's where the coil springs touch.

Thanks

No its not thicker but the spacer will align it

If you think its spring chatter then sheath the top and bottom coils will quieten it down

No probs, did you get an alignment/geometry setup done after fitting the alk?

Hi no not yet, fitted the new parts Saturday so when the links and rarb comes I'm going to get FB tuning to set it up for me.

What would be best to sheath the springs.

I used this type of hose, just cut down length of it and slipped over the coils, near enough like thin garden hose

Mate i think for this, you need the other type of drop link.

Like these

I had the same issue when i tried to fit a whiteline drop link (like yours) and they kept popping out and fitted really badly.
