Post by hoodedreeper »

Got some TEIN coilovers which included the Anti Roll Bar Links,can i replace these with a different manufacture Link Bar or does it have to be TEIN only?

So long as the replacements are the same length, face in opposite directions (front ones) and the threaded bits are the right diameter to go through the strut and arb holes without huge gaps then you can use whatever you like.

Thanks for the fast reply Rob! I work in a local motor factor so getting an 'aftermarket' part will be easier rather than buying a genuine TEIN one

I think I'm going to need to do the same soon. i can't tighten one of my rears enough because of the way it fits to the strut. i think i need a drop link with an alan key fitment in the back so that i can stop it spinning around while im tightening it.

ill keep an eye out for what you use

You may find that if your drop link doesn't have the allen key hole on the end then it may have flats on the ring of metal just by where the rubber boot finishes. you can then get an open spanner of the correct size on it to stop it spinning
