Anti-Roll Bar

I managed to get around to fitting the front Anti-Roll bar to the car.  This includes two drop links fitted with Rod-Ends linked to a bar that goes across the chassis mounted with plastic mounts.

I screwed the rod ends into the supplied drop links with around 1-2 threads showing above the lock nut.

The anti-roll bar was fixed to the chassis using the supplied plastic mounts and 6mm high tensile bolts to rivnuts in the bottom of the chassis.  Note:  Ensure you use hex head bolts since you can't get an allen key in for the upper wishbone.

I jacked up the front of the car and allowed the wishbones to drop down at full droop.  The rod ends were then bolted to the anti-roll bar and wishbone as follows to permit the softest setting:

Anti-Roll Bar - Hole Furthest Out (Furthest from pivot point)
Lower Wishbone - Hole Nearest Centre of Car (Nearest to pivot point)

Once bolted together the car was lowered.  Job done!
