Rear ARB drop links

Post by enuff_zed » Mon Jun 14, 2021 3:03 pm

Replaced rear shocks, rear ARB rubbers and drop links at the weekend.
All went back together well and made a huge improvement.
However, looking underneath today I can see that the drop links are right at the end of the ARB. They were tight against the shoulder when it all went back together. Both ends are the same.
Anyone got any ideas of why, or if this is an issue? If so, what to do about it.
Given the amount of space left between the drop link bush and the ARB shoulder, I am concerned that it would be possible for the whole thing to shift sideways far enough for one end to pop out.
All thoughts and experiences welcomed as always.

No idea why yours have gone like that sorry, but mine are tight against the shoulder (factory fitted parts I think)
