#1 Ron Beere uprated Torsion Bars

Post by andrewh » Fri Nov 10, 2017 2:30 pm

I am just fitting a set of Rob Beere 860 Torsion Bars and have come across a potential issue. It seems to knock the bars into position so that the lock bolt lines up with its groove, the bars will stick through the front of the lower suspension arm. Has anyone fitted these and confirm this to be the case? It means that you have to complete the job of knocking them through after coupling the top suspension mount otherwise the bar will hit the picture frame? Ummh....
