H&R Rear anti roll bar fitting

(1/3) > >>

JPC:
Hello guys, im going to be fitting my Rear Arb soon.

Before, i wanted to make sure i had everything in check.

First thing that popped up was lubricant for the Bushes.

Ive had a look at the H&R website and it says their bushes dont need lube. that true?

I know typically you should make sure there is plenty of the correct non abbrasive lube on the bushes, but i wondered what most others on here would do?

cheers

Teutonic_Tamer:
What kind of bushes are they?  If they are hard poly bushes, then you really need some molybenum disulfide grease - aka 'CV joint grease'.  This isn't absolutely vital, but is highly recommended.

Also, make sure you have a bottle of thread-locking adhesive for the bush bolts (but not the drop links).

HTH

JPC:
Got the thread lock sorted! ;)

And the bushes turned out to be Teflon lined.

Cheers for the reply

Are you fitting just the rear ARB jay?

Just make sure it isn't too strong.  A 'mild strength' brew is best.

Teflon - aka PTFE, aka 'snake oil'.  I'd still be inclined to use a smear of MDS grease.

Oh, don't forget to make sure the wheels are on the ground before tightening the bolts.
