should be okay as long as they're the same length (shorter would be better!)

Any idea what the torque will be when I tighten them up?

Just do em TAF   :grin:

Been noticing a noise recently but though it was just the arb rubbing. So decided to take closer look just now and noticed this  :sad:





Then good side



I'm hoping it's just a case of bolting it back in?
Is it an easy job?

Ie take wheel off, unbolt, slot back in, bolt up?

Thanks



Looks to me like it's been rubbing, and that has snapped it, how low are you, I had a similar problem, I bought a arb with bigger loops, and adjustable drop links that I shortened that now look like this

And now have this gap

Fixed now looks like this. Don't think it was rubbing apart from maybe on bumps? As I still have a lil bit of space to lower which I won't till I get new arb
