Caterham swaybar attachment

[Locost 5.0]

Does anyone have a picture or drawing on how Caterham attaches the sway bar on the upper a arm? I have been trying to a good picture of this, but they always have a rubber boot over the connection.

Thanks,
Rod

Rod, I don't have a picture, but could photocopy the fitting instructions from the assembly guide and post them if that helps?

Maybe you could just describe what type of joint it is. Just trying to figure how they are allowing movement, so it isn't binding the a-arms movement. I like the way the Caterham sway bar looks, and want to copy the design.... will the instruction help?

Rod,

There is a plastic ball screwed to the end of the ARB. The ball fits into a tubular housing welded to the upper A-arm. Since the ball is free to slide axially within the tube, it gives length compliance as well as radial compliance to the bar end.

Thanks Bob,

That's what I wanted to know.
