Another EK Ute on SA Roads
Re: Another EK Ute on SA Roads
I picked up a front bar off of Briby at the nationals, not sure of the brand it is silver and without measuring it I would guess it would be no smaller than 22mm. I have a funny feeling I have already spoken to Todd as I bought a mounting kit for the swaybar on the back of the rattler and they weren't doing them anymore ? I will call them and see what the go is. We have a wedding to attend in Moss Vale in October - Bathurst race day off all days to get married ........
I know its nothing like it used to be but I still watch it all every year.....

Fraud XP also fits very well if you require a bit of room around a larger pumkin diff.

That is what I have on the back of my banjo on the ute. XP to XC I believe, and possibly later wagons and Utes which retained the leaf spring rear axle.

Re: Another EK Ute on SA Roads
Thanks for the comments guys.
Fitted up the new tie rod ends that went smoothly. Then off to get a wheel alignment. Found an old school mechanic who was great. He works on the old school stuff and is around the same vintage as you folk on here
He has a Servex unit, which you don’t see many of. He adjusted up the drag link, reset the toe in and camber. Handles a lot better now. The garage has been around since just after WW2.
