Has anyone fitted Stillen anti roll bars to the Zed?

 

I tried fitting the Front today but finally realized after messing around for ages that its impossible to bolt the brackets with the poly bush to the chassis. On the chassis leg where you are ment to bolt the bracket there is a lump that i guess is to align the standard mount. On the Stillen poly bush it doesnt alloy for this.

 

What have you guys done?

 

Thanks Dan

 

Ive got pics if needed.

Can you stick some pics up? I can't quite work out what you mean.

Would be good to know this as I have one to fit aswell

Need some pics bud, I did'nt have any trouble fitting my whiteline ones and can't be that much different.........or can they?

pics added :)

daft question, but your not trying to put the rears on the front are you?

Ive seen this before and they used spacers ( square) either side of the bush/lump to even out the load when bolts are tightened, so it then sits flat to the front frame.

Sorry bud mine wasn't like that, the part that it's being bolted to was flat. Jap TT & UK TT

I thought of this too but i dont think the bolts will be long enough.

 

Ill have a look again tonight might just grind the lump away

Done mine no problems,do make sure you get adjustable drop links on the rear,just don,t get the stillen ones.

What's wrong with the Stillen ones?!! I've just put them on mine!!

Snap I've got stilled rear and powertrix fronts. has everyone used washes to pack out the bump then?

ok i cant see how these anti roll bars can be fitted without fitting spacers and using longer bolts or grinding away the lump. Starting to get to me now i just wanna fit them. Any ideas?

I can't remember there being a lump like that when I did my whiteline roll bars, there wasn't a recess in the bushes either. Is the lump solid metal? It looks like it's been punched.

 

If it's solid then grind it off, if it's not then I wouldn't grind it in case you end up with a square hole.

Also, how does the new bracket compare to the stock one? i.e are they the same size?

It is pressed into the steel if i grind it off i dont think it will be a problem i may have to add washers to keep the bar away from the lip on the chassis. I took the anti roll bars off years ago and not got round to searching though all the spare parts to find the OEM bracket yet :( Stillen dont seen to have an online pdf instructions either like some manufactures do. Pain io n the arse lol

mine went straight on :wack:

mine went straight on :wack:

 

Same as ^^^^ (Stillen front and rear ARB's on UK spec LWB), using Whiteline and CZP droplinks

 

planning on fitting them on the SWB shortly

What am i doing wrong then? Did any of you have the lump in between the bolts?
