Anti Roll Bar shifted

[adam quantrill]

My ARB seems to be over to the offside. The drop link is almost but not quite touching the spring.

It did have a loose bush on there which has been replaced the other day, I am guessing it's just a matter of loosening the ARB brackets and persuading it back.

However I wonder if others have found this at all, and is there a recommended fix? Maybe clamp a jubilee clip on the inside of each ARB clamp? Or maybe I'm overthinking it....

Hi Adam, I've not had this on my three Wedges, so unsure why it should happen. It might explain the nearside semi-slick you are running....????

Maybe related but cause and effect the other way round. Due to roundabout caning!

I just also remembered that one side ARB clamp is the nice shiney saxo one, the other is original, so there may be some uneven creeping bit by bit. I now have another saxo one to put on (one day).

Funnily enough, I finally decided to try and get rid of the weird noises on full lock the other day and discovered one of the ARB clamp bushes was fairly slack, the other one seemed ok bizarrely. But similarly I noticed whilst replacing them that the ARB was off centre slightly, not touching the spring though. I'll have to get under there and see where its settled now it's done a few miles... Still don't really understand how one knackered bush can cause so many weird noises when you go round corners.

There are no lateral stops on a Wedge ARB. Some modern cars have them welded onto the bar. The Wedge is basically floating and should find it's own centre as you drive. You can buy stops that clamp on to the bar, they come in different sizes. Such as:https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/123068584150
