Gadget Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Am in need of bushes for my anti-roll bars and don't know how to replace them. Have tried a search and come up with nothing . Has anyone done this before, where are they located, is it easy and I have heard for the back I need to drop the diff out, is this true?? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Fronts are simple, unbolt metal clip remove rubber bush, add new rubber bush, rebolt metal clip. Not done the rears so I don't know. Haven't heard of anyone having to change the rear bushes before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I did the rear ARB bushes last month and it was one of the easier jobs mate. Jack up the rear with axle stands, disconnect both drop links then work on one bush at a time removing the two bolts. The clamp should pull away and the roll bar will drop a little allowing the bush to pull off the bar. BTW mine is a 93 with 70odd k on the clock and both bushes were split down the middle and had seen better days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getrag Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Yeah, changed my rear links and doing my fronts. Just wondering if doing the bushes at the same time is worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine from MR T and they are dirt cheap at £4.60each + VAT. T48818-14050 (I think there are differences between models just to beware) I changed my rear droplinks and swapped over my shocks at the same time as I was knock hunting. I cant tell the difference really but I've not had the car out much either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Changed all four on my 94 Jspec, fronts were bad, both split and the bar channel was an oval shape Backs were not that bad. I was amased at the difference on control in the corners, lot solider feeling when weight is transfered. Fairly easy job, back was a bit more difficult due to location but not a biggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Did the wife's rear ARB on her scooby this weekend - the bushes are normally split so you just pull them open and pop them around the bar.
