Title: Fitting Anti-Roll Bar Bushes
Post by: damehyndman on February 21, 2008, 10:38:24 PM
I need to replace both front anti-roll bar bushes and I wanted to know if this is  an easy job  I can do or do I need any special kit or techniques etc?

cheers

it is very easy (so long as bolts not rusted). jack car, use jackstands, undo arb bush mounts, one at a time, if you are careful you wont need to undo either end where it attaches to the suspension arms.

Quote from: ashcit is very easy

Heard that one before ;) Last week it took me 30 mins to get one spark plug out.

Do they need a bit of persuasion, WD40 and hammer in and out?

You might find it easier if you get both front wheels off the ground. I found this out doing the rears on mine.

i used a g-clamp and wound it through with some wd-40 and didn\'t need to actually remove the bar from the car, but it may have been lucky as you say!
