Title: Anti Roll bar bushings....?
Post by: Tristan on July 29, 2007, 04:08:03 PM
Any of you guys got a set of ARB Bushings handy  for a non abarth 131? I'm looking for front and rear inner bushings and was wondering if the Sport , Racing , TC etc use the same as Abarth's?
They are 13mm and 19mm I think . The correct ones are to the left of the attached picture.

Tristan,

I had the ARB bushes replaced on my Stradale a year ago, and (part of) the invoice read like this -


To refit front and rear anti-roll bars, with new spherical joints/links.
To custom-make new front tie-rod bush sleeves and TCA outer joint bush sleeves.
To adapt other make Super-flex bushes for TCA outer joint ends.
To adapt other make Super-flex bushes for tie-rod front mounts and front anti-roll bar mounts

Speak to Mark Nicholson at Italian Race Services near Basildon, Essex on 01268 726279. I'm pretty sure that he modified Ford Escort? ::) bushes to fit the Abarth.

Cheers

Simon

I had a look , and got some Ford RWD Escort bits from a mate , and indeed it does seem doable to modify Escort ARB bushes and carriers to fit the 131 without much hassle...
