Cougar V6 anti-roll bar bushes

[P7ULG]

Just had my car in for an MOT and it has failed on front Anti-roll bar bushes.Relatively inexpensive parts, but as is often the case half the car needs to be taken apart to fit them.

Has anyone had these done laterly?

Can be a fiddley job getting the new ones in but it's a straight forward job check the roll bar still has the bumps to prevent sideway movement as they have a habit of breaking off (shoud be on inner part of bush) of they are missing a couple of tight fitting jubilee clips can be used to stop the movement

Thanks Neil

Garage is telling me sterering column and subframe have to be taken off resulting in a sizeable bill

[neiljohnson]

To drop the subframe is not necessary although dropping the back down slightly does help with access the steering column is 1 10mm bolt in the footwell so take all of 5 seconds !!!

A friend recently did this and in order to do it he dropped the rear of the subframe. It wasn't that difficult, though a little fiddly.
