Torque Setting for Front Anti-roll bar links

[Bogwoppit]

Can someone please tell me what the torque setting is for the front Anti-roll bar links as I am fitting new ones tomorrow.

I know that according to my Ibiza Mk2 Haynes manual it is 25Nm/18lbf ft, is this the same for the Mk3.

The car in question is a 2000 model Ibiza Cupra Turbo.

Thanks

yes - it's the same parts

they're crap and will snap regardless, so don't panic

Thanks Mork, does anyone make any that don't snap?
The current ones are powerflex ones and have only lasted about 2 months with standard suspension.
This time I am fitting GSF with standard rubber bushes in the eyes.

2 months suggests they weren't fitted quite right (so were in tension when the car was level)

try fitting them when the car is on the level & on the ground (yes.... this is going to be hard work if the car is lowered!)

Might have to mention this to Jabba as they fitted them at the same time as fitting the rest of the Powerflex bushes.

I have just fitted my new ARB links and noticed that my ARB protrudes about 2mm out of the link on the passenger side and about 6mm on the drivers side.

Is this normal?
