What arb do you have and what wheels do you have?

1 - if the driveshafts are rubbing on the arb them notching will do nothing. You need a new arb that goes under the drive shaft or cut it off.

You only need a notch when you have a good arb that goes under the drive and your low enough to make the driveshaft hit the chassis.

2 - if all four wheels are making weird noises then I assume you need spacers to clear the struts etc to stop them rubbing.

Hope this helps  :grin:

Anti roll bar has been removed all ready and already have 16mm spacers on the back and 10mm on the front and I have rotiform nue 18" by 8.5" wide with 215/45/18 tyres. I can see the drive shaft is touching the chassis. Thanx ian

If your low enough to need a chassis notch then an arb will be pretty ineffective anyway, it's quite common for people to just remove them :wink:

Did you replace the topmounts when fitting the coilovers?
