Title: Anyone fitted a Whiteline rear ARB?
Post by: snapey on June 07, 2010, 07:20:11 pm
How do chaps, Quick question for anyone with the 24mm adjustable rear bar fitted. Have any of you had the issue seen in the image with the drop-link bolt being too short to correctly mate with the nut?

Is the end of the ARB thicker than the OEM one? Or does it just not mate up properly with the drop link?

Yes mate, thanks for asking  :happy2: - it was the map. It was requesting far too much fuel at 3k.

Poor map removed, revisited JKM, more logs taken, was all good, so splash of Revo added and ITG fitted resulting in 255bhp! Drives perfectly now  :happy2:
