I too fitted GAZ rear shocks and set them at mid position based on number of clicks. The car was definitely bouncy and I altered the knob setting somewhat until the car quieted down but I don’t remember which way I turned it.
Does anyone know the diameter of the HB anti roll bar - judging from the photo above and the clamps it looks to be the same dia as the torsion links. It wouldn’t be too hard to duplicate but the stress in the bar would need to be checked so that a suitable steel could be used.
those are some fat tires on that real axle! i will say shocks probably will also make a big difference, i have original style shocks that are almost 10 years old now. will be replacing them sometime and assume at that point the combination of things will really make a big difference
The comment in the video about vibration loosening the fittings was a thought I’d had when I saw the installation, but in the video, I didn’t like the solution proposed. Given the relatively low cost of torque arms, why not just weld it? Or at just some threadlock. I didn’t think the comment about the fittings being closer together had merit – farther apart gives mechanical advantage, and would probably help combat vibration and avoid concentrating the forces on one end of the torque arm. Just sayin’.
I will take a few pictures of it fitted , and report back if I notice much diffrence .
I do have GAZ shocks on the back and 215 tyres , so will not be like fitting it to a standard car !
Nope, not got any of those nor the skill / facilities to make up the fixing bracketry. Ian’s ebay buy plus a couple of free nuts supplied by HBE is a good deal. I will await Ian’s report as to the results and if positive I will then likely have to buy new, with 6 week order time, now that Ian has probably picked up the only used one available in the UK.
Same here Tigger , bar I could probably do , but the brackets , have no tooling to make them , nut’s where not free , they just told me the size , but they sent the stickers , and fitting instructions , I think it was a good buy at the price , never seen one for sale before !
Managed to fit the bar today , the Allen headed bolts on 2 brakets lined up nice behind the dampers , but a ball ended key held them , as I did the nuts up !
