Front ARB correct way to fit
« on: April 21, 2026, 11:02:37 PM »
I have spent hours this afternoon trying to get the last couple bolt in the outboard ARB fixing in.  OMG what a s#!+!  Bushes took haff the time of these two bolts

Whats the correct way to do this, any tips?

Ratchet Strap to the subframe. Taking care to get the angles right to reduce slipping and maybe cable ties to strop the ratchet strap sliding. NB Ratchet straps also help at the back it you do not have the special tool.

I will look at that again Eric.  One end bush is not quite right but after 4 hours I want to go in a cry...

I have used a RS on the back, but couldnt figure out the front application.

Thank you so much
