I've been back in the garage today after a bit of a break.

I decided to replace the front anti-roll bar bushings as the ones in the car were loose around the bar.

I got a new pair of the Ford ones (as per the equivalent parts thread and identical to the old ones I took out).

The new ones are way tighter than the old ones but I was surprised by what a crap fit they are.

The fit is rubbish.

Is there any alternatives available other than the Ford ones?

You can get Powerflex bushes for the ARB. It will be 22mm or 25mm diameter.
The 25mm are 12.95 + VAT each

Pity I didn't know that when I bought the Powerflex suspension bushings form Steve Heath.

I could have ordered them as well.

Are they a better fit than the Ford ones?

Haven't got them yet so can't say from experience.
But Joo (Trackcar) says they are a much better fit.
He recommended I get them rather than the Ford ones.

Yeah, definitely don't go for the Ford ones.

The fit is crap.
