Just wanting to know what it is that stops the rear arms from separating from the beam? Are they held by the bolt for the antiroll bar? I was wanting to fit an independant antiroll bar but it looks like I can't get rid of the old one.......Steve ________________________________________ MMMM you won't like this but I just love Citroens!!!!!!! |

yup, held in place by the torsion bars.why do you want an external ARB when you can fit as far as you need inside? and much cheaper most likely ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

The plan was to dump the torsion bars too in favour of a coil over set up instead. Seams odd that they are not held at there pivot point but are held offset.....________________________________________ MMMM you won't like this but I just love Citroens!!!!!!! |

so what's that got to do with the ARB?  I believe Colin satchell retains the torsion bars and uses the coilover springs to increase the spring rate, Harry Hockley do a setup that ditches the complete beam in favour of tubular steel trailing arms. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Tbh for 3.3k that rear setup doenst look bad. I expected it to cost more. (Harry Hockly) ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

I didn't realise the torsion bars held the arms on, figured it was the anti roll bar.... Want to remove a lot of the axle that won't be needed and run a more adjustable rear end.________________________________________ MMMM you won't like this but I just love Citroens!!!!!!! |
