spot on, here's when I fitted mine:

Fitted my Whiteline Rear ARB this morning!

Not had chance to take it for a good test drive yet, but you really notice after fitting it how disconnected the back feels without it. It's also stopped a rear suspension creak which is a bonus!

For anyone thinking of getting one, here's a few pics, just to show you how it fits. Really simple, did it on my own with a few simple tools. Most cumbersome part was trying to get the U-bolt over the swing arm, whilst holding the ARB up and trying to screw the nuts on a couple of threads.. trollex jack really helped here.

Bar and fitting kit

Assembly which attaches ARB to swing arm

Bottom shock bolts removed and droplinks fitted

ARB loosely bolted to droplinks and jacked up

Bushes greased up and ARB in position

All fully fitted:

As it's second hand it doesn't look like it was on there might be wrong tho
