Torsion Bars/ARBs - Sizes and Sources

[thiscocks]

Indeed, with that response I would be particularly wary of anything they send out, mismatching trailing arms is not a clever idea!!

Are you after an axle for a 16v?

Yes mate. Not able to PM at moment as new member. Want to re-furb my rear beam but obv easier to get another and swap it- but want to be sure its the specific ZX 16v one!

[welshpug]

That will be tricky, however I might know of some...

[darrenjlobb]

Ive had bad experience with IM axles...never did get my partial refund so will happily bad mouth them !!

Seen these torsion bars on evilbay what's the chances they are actually 24mm..?

[welshpug]

That's an ARB not a torsion bar.

That's an ARB not a torsion bar.

my bad still one thing that confuses me is the rear beams!!

[eyalam]

Hi,
I own a citroen ZX volcane 1994.
I will be visiting the UK in a few weeks from now
looking for a shop to buy used/new(?) TB 21mm and ARB 24mm.
Can anyone suggest where I can buy these/order online?

I will be in the area of Hatfield.

thx Eyal

[Deutz_1]

Just out of curiosity what size are tb's and arb's in a phase 1 2.0 xsi?

[welshpug]

same as a gti6.

[Deutz_1]

Thanks, wasnt sure if the 8v engines had different tb/arb than the 16v models

[insomaniac45]

ok, so with many thanks to Jonny for letting me know how tired my car is, it is getting time to sort out the handling stuff

i would like to stiffen the cabby just a little so it doesn't wallow into corners like a bus. how can i do this on the rear beam? front end is obv a different thread, and i have an idea of what to do there. but this is the first car i have ever had with an ARB. they have all been either solid beams, or leafers.

[Quietone]

hi all are the arb n tb in a phase 3 xsi same as gti6 as above i am unsure thanks
