Technical Anti roll bar

[markcos]

Hi. Any tips for refitting the anti roll bar on a 2004 punto? Having had to replace both lower suspension arms, now the inner mounting bracket holes nowhere near line up Haynes manual says to refit the outer ones first, but is there another way.....? Cheers

I use a 4 post car ramp and a pump up axle stand, its still a bit of a pig lining the holes up.

Working on the floor it's tricky. Get the car secure on axle stands. The inner ones can be lined up by jacking up the arb. The outers you might find easier if you get a second jack and use the two in tandem, one on the arb and the other on the suspension arm and tapping it into place with a soft mallet. Don't force it as it's easy to cross thread the screws.
