rear arb on a lc coil lifted surf

[dieselboy]

I messed around with ARBs on and off the truck, but found for everyday offroading, removing the front didn't really make much difference, but made the truck horrible on the road (5" lift). Removing the rear had more effect on articulation with little effect on of-road handling. However, in anger I never really noticed much difference.

The upshot was I put the front back on (short wishbones are the main limit to flex on the front, not the ARB) and left the back one off.

For the front, I think I need to extend those as well to keep the angles straight..
Looks like i'm going to need to do some playing

you need a bolt a drill and an R clip, but you would be far better reading post 11

wouldnt they "meet" or hit each other when off road if just one end was disconnected?

Possibly, but if you disconnect both ends it would be flapping about all over the place all the time.

Who's rattled your cage?

Had my front arb off for a while after a bolt sheared and though perfectly drivable it's much much nicer on road with it on.

FFS, how many times! It's because the panhard rod is too short.

No, that's the thermostat and radiator cap.

Not again!!! Can you do trigonometry?

The panhard will only shorten near to the speed of light. All other panhards will be the same, but yours will be younger, unless you have a tyre on the roof in which case your diff breather wont work.
