anti roll bar link modifications...

low stance does cause lots of minor problem... one of it indefinitely will be deformation of your anti roll bar bush... when the car sits lower, the anti roll bar will be slightly angled upwards at both ends... this creates stress on one side of the bush... hence, deforming most rubber bush...

as i've mentioned earlier that i had mine changed to teflon, this does not stop the anti roll bar from grinding away one side of my teflon bush... this premature wear will reduce the lifespan of the bush altogether...

as u see on the stock satay bush, there is a spacer in between to separate the lower arm and anti roll bar...



i've bought another pair of satay rod... saw off the spacer half the height... this is what i got after installation...



i've also got this opportunity to change the inner anti roll bar bush...



not easy to change if don't have proper tools... because the tie-rod end is blocking your spanner movement inside and both sides need to be aligned in order to fit in properly... the bush needs to be cut so it can be fitted into the bar and bracket...
