Should take delivery of a whiteline rear ARB tomorrow which I will be fitting this Saturday with luck.

Fitting looks straightforward but what setting would you advise?

The Hard setting , drop links in the inner hole or softer setting, drop links in the outer most hole?

Anyone done a comparison and what do you normally leave it on ?

cheers

Weve always fitted it on the inner hole, and yeah they are easy to do, about 1/2 hours to 45 mins max.

Yeah the hardest setting on the whiteline is equivalent to the softest setting on the profile one. This is what most people have them set at.

sorry to be a newbie, but what do these do?

 

[menzies26]

These reduce body roll keeping more of your tyre in contact with the road during cornering.

 

[james-st]

Cheers for the replies, will fit on the hardest setting then .

 

[james-st]

One other thing.

Should I put some sort of grease, copperslip maybe on the bushes or leave dry ?
I've also got silicone grease as well.
cheers

 

[Lancastrian]

Use the silicon grease if it came with the ARB.

 

[james-st]

Its second hand but never been used.
No grease was ever shipped with it.

 

[TheCustomTouch]

Yeah a little grease on it to stop it squeaking and to make easier to fit

Cheers for that , i'll use the silicon grease , dont want any sqeaking!!
its going on in the morning

Fitted the Rear ARB this morning, very straight forward only 20 mins to complete, gave all the bolts and drop links a nice spray with wd40 before releasing too.
Put plenty of silicon grease on the bushes as well.
Feels much more 'planted' on the rear now, much more confidence around the corners, havn't really give it a good go yet though.
Definately a worthwhile mod.

Was going to take a photo but I left my phone at home -DOH!

She also had a nice oil/filter change with castrol edge too !!

Big thanks to Troy45 for selling me the nice black sprayed ARB, cheers bud.

Only down side was it looks like I'm gonna need new pads all round and front discs very soon, will also carry out a brake fluid change as well, can see 5.1 going in.
