Ideally, unpick and replace; alternatively see your friendly panel beater and stretch it out on a chassis alignment rack....

But as we don't live in an ideal world, a straight forward modification to the ARB bracket that bolts to the front of the chassis rail to move the ARB pivot forward the required amount will get you awfully close to the correct geometry - not ideal and utlimately a little on the rough side, but about the only way I can think of avoiding the 'ideal' solutions above.....

Could I resolve the ARB issue with a weld on antidive kit to realign sway bar mountings??

You could use that approach, just remember to weld it on offset in relation to the front apron.

Modifying the ARB to chassis mount, or refabricating for that matter, would be just as easy.

A simple cut and reweld (with reinforcing back plate) at the red line woudl be the simplest and quickest way.


Now for the liability disclaimer - keep in mind that you are modifying a suspension component and theoretically need to have it engineerred if being used on public roads. For the record I will again state this is not the ideal solution, just a work around within the paremeters of the OPs original query.

james,
I am sure I have a spare mount somewhere so might be time to fire up the MIG.
Will update when I get it done

rgds & Thanks
