Anti Roll Bar

[stevef9]

Hi all,

Been lurking for a while but this is my 1st post. Congrats on the forum - lots of info and seems pretty friendly too:grinning:

I have a 2002 1.0S and have just bought a front anti-roll bar to try and help reduce the boat like feeling in corners. Can anybody tell me what size and thread the 4 body mounting bolts should be please?

Cheers

Steve

there 14mm but i forgot what the wishbone size bolts are.

It should already have a front anti-roll bar fitted as standard?

 

[stevef9]

No - the later models did not have anti-roll bar fitted to reduce costs. They don't even have the brackets on the rear axle

Could do with knowing what the thread is and the bolt length if possible.

Oh right, hadn't realised sorry, tight ######s aren't they. If no one else comes along with the answer shortly I'll whip a bolt from mine and measure it for you.

That would be fab, thanks(Y)

20mm long thread
10mm dia
1.25mm pitch

Err - does that make it an M10 bolt?:blush:

 

[superls]

yes m10 fine, not your standard size, so will cost a little more unfortunately

 

[stevef9]

Thanks for that, hopefully I'll get time to fit it this weekend.

err im not sure where you got your info regarding the anti roll bars but my 2002 1.4 sport + came with them and the brackets for them

Jim

I think that because mine is a humble 1.0s and yours is a 1.4 sport is probably the reason:grinning:

[stevef9]

Well. finally got it fitted:grinning: It has made a big difference to the handling, still not exactly go-kart like but at least it doesn't feel like it is about to fall over every time I go round a bend(Y)

How far should I tighten the drop link bolts? I'm tightening against rubber so in theory I could just keep going until I run out of thread. At the moment i have about 3 threads showing from the top of the nut - any thoughts, please:question::question:

Cheers
