Day 7- Front Anti Roll Bar
It's a Monday Evening so we aren't going to do very much, so we have decided to get the front anti-roll bar in. Firstly the manual says to install the radiator inner cowling before the ARB, however in our eyes, and we have tested it, the cowling will go in after so we will ignore the instruction.
First the rubber bushes had to go into the brackets, some silicone spray was helpful in doing this. These were then slid onto the ARB, then the rubber boots were slid on and the plastic balls were tightened on the end of the bar with protected pipe grips. We then coated the ends on the balls with grease and put some into the cups, which turned out to be too much, as it hydraulically locked the cup causing the brackets to stand off to far to be tightened. We then removed the bar, removed a little grease (and a lot of paint which scraped off as the ball went in) then re-positioned the bar. This is actually not too hard, one person is enough (possibly made easier by the longer bar on theSV model), then torqued adequately.
