okay now i've got my stock ek4 rear swaybar and taken off the endlinks
trying to match it up to the dc2r ends and its completely different!
ek4 swaybar end;
dc2r swaybar end;
as far as i can see its not a bolt on affair
anyone want to enlighten me on what i'm missing or doing wrong?
***** edit; info on how i've temporarily solved it *****
[i]so i've found a way to make bushings out of vinyl tubing
list of goods you'll need from bunnings;
$3.20, 3/8" flat washers, pack of 18(found in the nuts and bolts section)
$0.52, 8mm joiner clear vinyl tubing(found in the hoses section with all the irrigation stuff)
$0.55, 10mm joiner clear vinyl tubing(as above)
$0.66, 12 or 12.5mm joiner clear vinyl rubing(as above)
now the idea is to build up layers of vinyl tubing to replicate the oem bush
1. put one washer on the endlink before slipping on the tubing
2. start with the 8mm piece, cut a piece about 15mm long and slip it over the thread
3. cut a 15mm piece from the 10mm joiner and with the help of some sort of lube(i used rp7) push it over the 8mm piece already in place
4. cut a 15mm piece from the 12/12.5mm joiner and again lube it up and push it over the last piece
5. lube up the diy bush and the endlink hole and push the bushing through, might have to use a hammer to get it through
6. once you get it through put a washer at the end and bolt it up tight, you can either reuse the old bolt or you can buy another one from bunnings (m10, 1.25mm)
7. tighten it up as best you can and that should be it
i'll post pics later, just a bit busy now
