    Anti -Roll Bar help needed on a Mk2 Astra

    Just a quick question.

    The links for the anti-roll bar that go from the roll bar to the front suspention wishbone, is there some kind of length they should be once fitted?

    As you will no there is a 13mm bolt that runs through the link and I need to know how tight it should be.

    Thanks,

    Paul

    There's a metal tube in the middle. Just tighten the nut until the bushes are compressed by a mm or so. I suppose it's like asking how tight a nut should be. Feel your way. You'll soon know if they're too loose.

    Use the force, Luke.

    38mm as listed in Haynes manual. It's not too critical though, the tighter you do it the more you squash the bushes.
    Do you want to install and run "Adobe Flash Player 9"?
    No, now f*** ***.
