Jonesy1986 Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Hi all I've just changed the drop link to poly bushes on my 52 lupo but the link seems to be slipping on the arb of some kind!? everything is tight up also when cornering to the right it throws me more to the right if you get me any solutions to this would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C3peteo Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 What size is the arb and what size is the diameter of the hole in the drops links? Maybe you got the 22mm drop links but have a 19mm arb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR5V Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 They should be a tight fit onto the ARB - I recall at the time it was so tight I thought I had the wrong size bush. If you are getting changes in direction mid-bend it is likely to be something moving around. Mine used to do weird stuff pushing hard on roundabouts, fine on entry turning left, but turning right the back end would start trying to oversteer - Take a look at drivers side rear beam bush looking for movement front to back - mine was toast, basically front was turning right and rear beam was twisting making rear wheels toe to the left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy1986 Posted May 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Cheers guys could the arb be the wrong way round? Would it make a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR5V Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 No - getting the ARB the wrong way round would be quite impressive - There is a hoop in the middle sticking up, if it was the wrong way round it would be scrapping the ground, this was my built up subframe after rebuild: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Ooh, that pic does it for me... i wish mine looked that good. Mmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR5V Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Thanks - don't know why I had not posted it before Wish it still looked that good - the gearbox in then out and back in again solo took its toll on the powder coating at the near side front of the subframe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
