Assembling

Beam got new mount bushes (4pcs), genuine pug items. I also bought set of offcentre spacers for the torsion bars. Assembly of the bars was straightforward. I set the dummy shock to 297mm.

Time to press some greese to the bearings

Greese comes out nicely through the outer bearing which has no seal in either side. One has to be very careful pressing greese to the system when antirollbar endplates are installed, too much pressure is guaranteed to pop out the trailing arm outer seal. Anyway, it would be good practice to remove the endplates when adding greese, the color of the outcoming greese will show if there is rust in the bearing space...

A thicker ARB 24mm, from a S2Rallye/GTI was acquired from a scrap yard (via a fellow pug enthuasist) and for some reason both endplates were removed from it. The threads in the ends of the bar needed to be tapped (M8) clear in order to screw the plates to the splines.

Supports for the brake hoses were screwed in. One cleaned and painted support piece is missing, I thought I may not find it so took a rusty one from the parts bin and put it to electrolysis bath... Hoses must be bought too. After these small things it's time to install the axle to the car.
