Hello all,

Does anyone have an anti roll bar they want shot of? Mine appears to be slightly bent :(

Cheers

Are you sure Andy ?

Would need to have taken a right clout to bend it ...

Agreed Mike.

(Bear with me, I'll try to explain)

Off the car, and laid flat, it should contact the floor at 4 points: the two location "lugs" at the front, and at the bends where it locates in the LCA's.

On the floor, mine contacts at 3 points, and can be rocked. One side is about half an inch off the floor, thus the rocking.

Hard to explain, will post photos in the other thread this evening...!

I thought maybe... But thats a hell of a lot of force! More I suspect than my vice, weedy arms, and a scaffold pole can apply. Accurately! Thus my request for a good 2nd hand one. However, there is nothing to lose I guess. I wonder if Chris N may have one...

I will post pics tonight, but all advice, suggestions and comments appreciated.

Cheers mate

not being funny, but is the floor straight???

I wouldn't scrap the anti roll bar over a half inch error, BUT, I wouldn't bend it cold either, needs heat to rectify the problem correctly. where are you?? are you near Essex?? I can sort it for you if you want.
