Rear Eibach Anti roll bar help
tony_danza:
Surely that's not much more than a standard bar (obviously it's a lot stiffer though) - can you not just get some Powerflex OEM replacements and force them on?
I've got a set of bushes here, 26mm I/D so no use to you sadly, but I'll grab a photo to show you what they look like and how to cut them.
tony_danza:
Ok - it's a D shaped bush with ridges to stop it moving laterally in the clamp. Cut the Powerflex ones down the flat face and wrap them around the bar - tightening it will force it that extra couple of mm you need... don't go crazy though, or you'll snap the clamp/bolts.
This will be perectly safe IMO until you get a fitting kit further down the line*
*I'm no engineer though, so don't take that as gospel!
gazbutS3:
what size is the std front anti-roll bar? I was thinking maybe use the std front on the uprated rear?
tony_danza:
I'm pretty sure the VW bushes are bonded to the bar, how they're replaced though I have no idea?
