RARB Thread-Locker?

Post by cobraBLACK » Mon Dec 06, 2010 2:08 pm

I'm going to fit the RS4 rear anti-roll bar (sway bar to our US cousins) to my B6 S4 Avant at the weekend and I've heard the bolts can work their way loose.

Does anyone know if Loctite 248 is right for the job?

It says threads up to M50.

I used the coventional glue type thread locker. Theres a hell of alot of force there and that stick is more like a semi hardening wax I think rather an a glue.

Screwfix, Toolstation or any motorfactors do it for about a fiver

Out of interest, what diameter is the S4 RARB, versus the RS4 RARB ?

I believe the S4's is 20 mm and the RS4's is 22 mm.

Doesn't sound much but everyone on here seems to swear by the mod.

Full RS4 Hotchkis kit is well worth doing, transforms the car
