S70 Front Roll Bar Bent?

[John]

Probably Wobbly would know this, should there be any pre-load on the front anti rollbar 1998 S70R, had to lever it down to get drop links to line up.
So should that be there? and do you check this with or without weight on the wheels, ie on the deck or on stands.

Thanks guys.

My P2 V70 has preload on the arbs.

After some research, roll bar should have no preload when vehicle on its wheels, fitted replacement roll bar bush kit today from PFS, took about 2 hours in the workshop.
The car is now a different animal, greatly reduced torque steer and steering generally a lot lighter, I wonder how many of you have this problem without knowing it?

Hmm, my car was up on stands when I took the droplinks off. I know my arb bushes are tired but I have too many other things to deal with atm.
Thanks for the heads-up

How did you change your rollbar bushes? I had to burn mine off.

Used a wire wheel after hacking off as much as possible with a hacksaw!
