Rear ARB

[Paul]

How does it attatch to the beam?

[kevster]

i think you slide it in to the beam bud and bolt it at the end's do you not ?
saying that i have never fitted one lol

[MattBrown]

Yeah.

You can also bodge a mk2 astra one on for even less flex

[Adam]

Yeah it slides in and them clampbolts to each side of the beam

[Iain]

Don't forget there's also one or two bushes that'll need fitting when you slide it in.

[Paul]

I had none fitted as I can't see a poxy bit of 20 year old rubber adding any stiffness to 2 slabs of steel!

[Pistol Pete]

I got a Flo-flex polly one in there was a nightmare getting it to fit with one, don't fancy forcing another in there lol

Edit- EPC says one

[Pistol Pete]

Same. I had to open mine out abit. Wasnt fitting around the ARB in a month of sundays.

[bmw156]

IIRC the saloons/more doors came with one bush.
and gte/gsi came with two bushes.

but dont quote me on that lol.

[kevster]

i had two on mine ?

[Adam]

My GSi ARB has got two bushes on

[GDN16v]

Doesnt matter if you have 1 or 2! Crap rubber doesnt stop the bar flexing under load! Got a poly bush one in ours and was a right git to fit!lol

[bazil]

I've got the astra one bolted on and the standard gsi setup aswell lol

[GDN16v]

I've got the astra one bolted on and the standard gsi setup aswell lol

I think the astra one would be fine by itself!!lollollol

[MattBrown]

Remember guys, theres 2 sizes.


A normal one, that has 1 bush and is 12mm or 13mm (IIRC)

A GTE, GSI and SRI one thats 15mm or 17mm (IIRC)

So if your bushes are rediculously tight, could be the wrong ones.
