GR Rear Droplink Bolts / Washers

Post by -Nighthawk- »

Hey guys,
I purchased this a while ago to upgrade my rear drop-links:

http://camskill.co.uk/m3b0s10p205/_SUPE ... S_-_NOT_GX

But have since found they have a full kit available:
http://camskill.co.uk/m3b0s10p1004/_CAM ... and_1_8_GS

How would I go about getting the bolts / washers? Or can I use the standard bolt still and purchase washers? (I don't think the factory one has washers).

Thanks

Yes mate, the factory ones have washers & the spacer tube just as pictured in the Camskill kit.

Just pull your old assembly apart & pop your new bushes in, peice of piss ;)

Thanks Ben, sure the stock bolts are ok to use? (ie: they don't bend easily)

They'll be fine unless your car is lowered. If the car is lowered it puts the bolt at a bad angle into the sway bar, in which case the fix is shorter bolts & a shorter spacer tube (52mm to be precise)

Ok cool, my car isn't lowered. May as well replace the rear ARB bushes while I'm at it

They are a common bush and can be had from super pro for a 20!

Yeah I've already got quite a few to install that I've had for a while (front ARB, rear ARB, front bottom arm front, front bottom rear etc.). Might get some of the front ones done by a mechanic
