Rear beam assistance please... (Sorted)

[StarBenn]

As above ph3 dont need the load valve because of the abs system they have.

I have a temp ph2 drum beam on my estate and i removed the valve when i fitted it. Goes through MOTs and brakes fine.

Also i think cabby beams have smaller ARBs

Okay thanks.

By ARB do you mean anti roll bar? Will that play an issue in fitting?

Basically my beam is a mess. The rust is awful, I'll pop some pics on next week when I do the swap. The cabbie beam is from my mums which was written off and has done about 40-50k. It's pretty neat looking and I'm in the process if cleaning it up and am gonna paint it with anti rust stuff. Im far from mechanically minded though so we shall see how this goes... Haha

The phase 3's use the ABS system for EBD (electronic brakeforce distribution), so they don't need the crappy manual load compensator of the older phases.....

Also, the cabby is heavier than the hatch, so your car may sit higher on a cabby beam than the cabby does.

Ah I see. Thanks Tom!
As long as it doesn't sit any higher that it currently does I'll be happy!
Will keep the old one and try to save it and maybe put it back one day.

Edit: according to Parker's there's on a 70kg difference, how much effect would you guess it'll have?
