On Tuesday helping a friend dismantle his MK4 Golf/Bora I found this 'modification'.
VW ARB! by AcidicDavey, on Flickr
Somebody has cut the ends off the anti roll bar and welded it to the car? WTF!?
Only the one side though, the other has been cut off but not welded
Go on then, where's JamesT5 hiding? Has he turned his talents to VW stuff now?! Surely they're not actually doing anything then? The weld was probably to stop it rattling? Best I've ever seen was a Corsa B with wishbone bushes made of silicone sealant!
You're probably right about the weld, the bushes were swear word too! It ain't going to do a bloody thing like that except help the back end step out perhaps ;)
FFS there are some cowboys still in the industry

[QUOTE=stribo;778979]TBF mate, it may not be someone in the industry that did that, we've seen plenty of home mechanics that like a bodge.;)[/QUOTE] yes mebbe not....not everyone has the kind of equipment to do that though - decent sized grinder & some kind of stick/mig welding set. No disrespect meant to genuine guys in the industry of course, just that was my 1st impression
Wow Wayne really knows how to pick cars doesn't he, I'm actually trying to work out why you would actually do that though
It looks like it was done recently, so presumably since the last MOT. If it went through the MOT like that, then that's pretty worrying! It's not one of those bloody "stanced" dubs is it?
