After busting & bending my disconnects at Clyro, can somebody (MOCAJ

) just check the length from end to end of the swaybar please.

Just want to make sure I haven't bent that too.

New Disconnects on order, best clean the bugger soon

Gaz,

the distance between the centres of the bolts which hold on those 2 U shaped brackets for your disconects is 35"

gazjeep · « **Reply #4 on:** June 29, 2011, 01:11:17 PM »

Nice one Steve, i'll check tonight hopefully

the weak point was the weld on the disconnect which as we know failed. if you had bent the sway bar then it would have bent with earlier in the day when the disconnect was intact

gazjeep · « **Reply #10 on:** June 29, 2011, 11:56:48 PM »

Just checking, I know they sit on an angle, the weld snapping is one thing but the other one being bent up too has made me think to check the sway bar before I fit the new ones

Bishops Finger · « **Reply #17 on:** July 02, 2011, 12:08:37 AM »

Gaz dude..bring them up the shire think even I can fit them...

gazjeep · « **Reply #18 on:** July 02, 2011, 12:29:54 AM »

Cheers Stew, its not the fitting, I would value MJS's opinion on the set up & angles especially laterally.

When viewing from the front, they seemed to lean out towards the wheel somewhat, hence me asking MOCAJ for length of sway bar

Last MOT, I had to get new bushes for them as they seemed a little distorted, wondered if this was a contributing factor to recent failure

Inverted!!!

We'll have none of that Blue Oyster shenanigans here if you dont mind

Dave69 · « **Reply #21 on:** July 02, 2011, 10:44:52 AM »

are you sure the sway bar hasn't moved itself too far to one side and now not central?

gazjeep · « **Reply #22 on:** July 02, 2011, 05:38:24 PM »

To be honest mate not sure, will have a good look when new ones turn up

Bishops Finger · « **Reply #23 on:** July 02, 2011, 09:02:28 PM »
