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

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

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
