How easy are they to change?

Featured Replies

My 1991 coupe gt is a bit clunky on the front end so I'm going to work my way around the car replacing parts. Start with the easiest I think. How easy is it to change just the front two bushes on the anti roll bar with polyurethane? Tried a forum search but too much information. Just want to drop the bar and experiment? Any suggestions?

very easy ..shouldnt have any problems at all

I had to replace one bolt that goes through the carrier into the chassis ARB front mounting. But I had taken nearly everything off.

Axle stands for the car and a trolley jack to raise the bar again. Won't even need re-tracking if it's just those rubber mounts on the ARB you are replacing and new PU ones can fold over the bar.

Brilliant. Thanks. I'll give it a go. Anyone recommend a source of the poly bushes?

Measure your ARB diameter. Superpro make a range of sizes that might fit.

Even Febi 2757 (on Amazon as an 'addon' item) would be an improvement over ancient ones.

I've got polys where the arb goes through the end of the lower arm , they made a nice noticiable differance so maybe worth getting them too

i got mine off ebay from some polish seller , cant seem to see any now

Decided to buy two Febi 2757 bushes from KMS International. £9.46 for two. Great value as I'm on a budget. Will see how they go.

Very easy to do, but the captive nuts can strip their threads easily when you refit, so clean the threads while they're out and don't over tighten.

Either do them one at a time, or use the marks where the old bushes where to align the bar back in the same place.

Thanks. Will see how the cheaper ones work for now. £9.46 for two is in my budget. Should be delivered today.

Nice find, Stevo. "To every product we add grease".

Hope the weather stays good for you for fitting them and it goes smoothly.

think it means they include a sachet of copper grease
