Front Anti-Roll Bar Link

[Chaz]

The nearside link on the font anti-roll bar has gone again. Changed it last year but noticed the other day when checking under the truck that the bottom bush on the link is breaking up, I can move the washer about and the bush feels as though it has been ripped to bits.

I have read in the workshop downloads to put a washer either side of the bushes which might help to stop the hole in the wishbone tearing them to bits.

Would it be better to replace this with a new link with pollybushes from Millners and if so would both the N/S and O/S sides have to be done ?

some will say take it ALL off... and dont have one at all.

id get some from Millners both sides...

Defo do both sides and you'll probably need to weld the washers on. The hole gets worn
Only take the ARB off if you're serious about the offroad stuff:naughty

Hmmm... mine eat bushes for fun... although they do spend alot of time bumping up and down on rough, potted farm tracks!
Might have to try this. :thumb2

Should definitely have big washers to protect them. My old mazda 323 only had one drop link bush out of four in place and it failed the mot because it was perished. Didn't mention the three that were missing !
