anti roll bar hitting steering ????

Post by Domino »

after changing a few items on the van in search of a knocking from the front end ,, like all the anti roll bar bushes and ball joints iv now noticed that the anti roll bar is hitting on the steering bar that come from the front to the rack

does anyone have any ideas why these would be hitting each other ? ,, roll bar stuff is all brand new and rack doesn't seem to have any movement

any advice would be very helpful

I expect you have the ARB upside down there should be a lot of clearance.

cheeers guys :oops: :oops:

it has been doing it since I brought the van so might not be 100% my doing and I did note how it came off so I suspect its been like it the whole time and iv been changing bushes that may not have needed it just yet lol , but at least the van will drive nice with all the new stuff on the front end

will swap it around today and see what happens :ok :ok
