Is that a standard anti-roll bar?
An uprated front ARB is the absolute best modification for a 164; it transforms the handling (if you want the long explanation of why, let me know!).
Suggest you get a 25mm bar from IPD or KG, or as a cheaper option make up brackets to fit dual standard bars. I did this on my first 164 years ago and it worked fine.

Yep... that's all original but cleaned and painted...
Please do tell... I'm always happy to know new tricks...
I'm going for the original look and parts till I can make it road legal, then that's another story...

Sorry but no updates , I'm changing/upgrading some parts in my daily, suspension, clutch, oil cooler, headlamps, intercooler, strut braces, back box and induction pipe...  Maybe then I'll attack the volvo...  I'll do a thread later for it since it's only from '97...  |
