I have a calmini kit installed, was trowling through some pictures such as this one. Noticed a blue bar going from one control arm to the other. Any info on the specs of this? whats its purpose and where can you get your hands on them?

my toy: as you can notice, no bar.

Its the steering stabilizer and truss it that calmini sell, It is needed to fit the Calmini bash plate.

cheers. Much appreciated. Was there much difference with it installed? Was thinking of getting a return to centre steering stabliser from tough dog, and making up a bar type thing to do the same job as the bar. Anyone know mounting gear comes with the tuff dog RTC steering dampers for vitaras?

Those were from the Custom Action shoot and they recycled them again in another Custom Action article.

Also I never got to notice teh differene, I have never driven a Calmini kitted Vitara without the truss kit fitted
