Title: JKS Quicker Disconnects
Post by: lefty on June 09, 2006, 09:34:12 AM
Looking at my discos last night, the diameter of the bolt at the top end of the disco is 10mm, the anti-roll bar link it replaces is 12mm so it's going to move a bit. Anyone else had this problem and is it really a problem?!

I seem to remember refittting the big dished washers that came off the original link when I fitted mine.  They centre everything up and I've never had any problems. :wink:

Aye, the hole is actually 14mm, the bushes on the original link take it down to 12mm. Still a 2mm gap though.

Was that on an xj chris??

Nope, not been out at all. Jeep was in the garage for nearly a week getting a few things done (service, snorkel, MOT, tracking adjusted etc) but got her back now.

There's a BORDC competition on at Fetteresso this weekend so I might have a crack at that  :shock:
