upper rear suspension arms
 

Here's hoping, does anyone have a picture of the top of an unfitted new upper rear arm.

I am just wanting to confirm something about the new pair I received earlier this week and have a slight problem with :(

Brian :D

That link doesn't work for me Alan??

Hi Brian these pics in this listing Any use?

Yes Wullie, this picture in particular ;)

I'd better not comment further until I've spoken to my supplier, needless to say there is an issue with these replacements, and I'm hoping it's batch related :(

typical! Figured switching to public, the Facebook link would have worked. Wullie's link is better anyway :}

So can you see what is wrong with the arm in that picture Alan ;)

Hi Brian,I have some of these new arms in stock if you need to look at them

Gary, take a look at a new one, then an old one see where the anti roll bar brackets are welded in relation to the oval hole, and then measure from the centre of the bayonet spigot in the spring cup, to the inboard side of the spring cup.

In the latest arms I've ordered for my old man's tourer, the lower spring isolator doesn't fit properly in the spring cup, and the ARB bracket is welded 10mm off centre meaning the drop link is likely to foul.

I never noticed this on the last couple of pairs I've fitted as neither of those cars had a rear ARB.........

Pictures to follow

Bri :cool:

Brian,I just fitted an O/S one to an early V6 yesterday with ARB and all seemed OK but i will check them out.I got a couple of full sets when they were on offer,tried to get more today but they have gone up in price now.
