Default Snapping a whiteline rear ARB
What would cause a rear 22mm whiteline adj. ARB to snap?

Was working away yesterday, looked over at the car to see it hanging down. It has snapped.

Would be good if that happened. Speak to Demon Tweaks or Whiteline direct?

I'll try snap it tomorrow to show.

D.T. first, then direct if no joy...

P.S. As stated above, have you broken the mounts, slightly more likely, imho.

P.S. Mine's getting powder coated some time.

The whiteline kit's finish seems to corrode very quickly. My arb's have been on 6 months, kept in the garage, only done 2k this year, and they are corroding away nicely!

My car is a 12 year old type R import which has been in the UK for 10 years it has no anti corrosion treatment underneath and it doesn't look anywhere near as bad as that does.

Also, shouldn't you have the 'C' shape drop links on the rear?
