So put the adjustable drop links in last night but done it whilst car was jacked up, but they rub as they are set too high

So can I just undo the bottom bolt and adjust them without jacking up the car so I can get them to the right height or will I have problems with the arb??


save posting again i found out that it is easy to do the above... but it still looks quite close (the drop liknk to the drive shaft) so i would like to see how everyone else has overcome this, or just how it sits...... so pics please!!!!

I'm pretty sure you'll have to jack it up again mate.

Nope!!! Wheels all the way over and there is room to get in there and S it's in the position it'll be driving in, you can see the clearance  :wink:

Oh, on mine I recently had to replace the drop link bolt. Undid the bolt with the wheels on the ground and due to the tension the ARB moved considerable north. However once both wheels were off the ground it's no longer under tension so fell back inline to allow the bolt to be threaded. This was with a standard (non adjustable) drop link though.
