Hi guys and girls.
I just fitted a set of Whiteline Solid Droplinks to the front of my V5 Type R as I fitted a uprated ARB too.
I tightened up the bolts on the droplinks to 35ft/lb and then put the car on the deck and they look like this :



Should the upper bush appear to under that much stress?

The arrow, by the way, is the washers I had to add as WL didn't provide or mention the necessity for them because without them the lower bolt just pulled the inner sleave out the bush.

Many thanks,
Paul.

 

No that's not right

 

How so? It's the same both sides.
I haven't driven it yet, bit worried.

 

Just ran out and took a picture of mine to see if it helps?

 

God the underside of my car is rough

Yours got alloy arms?

 

Yeah it's got alloy arms.
The mount on my alloy arms are different to your mounts. Have I bought the wrong set do you think?
Funnily enough, the previous owner bought the antilift kit from Whiteline and found it didn't fit so his local garage had to source a Summit kit which did. The plot thickens...

 

You should be using spacers that come with the KLC32 Kit

 

KLC32 is for newage isn't it?

Definitely uses a different kit for the alloy arms though I know that for sure mate

 

Get in! I got the wrong set

So are we guessing that the arms are from a newage then?
I wonder why they're different

Looks like you need KLC139

 

It does indeed. Will have to wait until next payday as I'm totally brokio after buying parts from people on here!
I'm gonna have to try and salvage the old droplinks then, one of the nuts is seized. Where's that dremmel?....

Thanks for the help guys

 

Yeah you fitted KLC30 which is for steel wishbones,

You need KLC32 which is for newage and also for the classic sti which came with alloy wishbones as in your case.

KLC32 set not only comes with spacers... but also the entire droplink has different size of the bottom holes and bolts.

KLC32


See the difference?

 

And that's how they should look fitted.
