After a mate let me down on Friday morning and told me at the last minute he couldn't replace the anti-roll bar bushes for me until Tuesday, the thought of being Cerb-less over the weekend prompted me into having a go myself.

I got everything apart and it's pretty straightforward putting it back together but I can't get the bolts lined up again. (8 hours of trying and still nothing - space too small and spring in the way to get the bolt lined up and the thread started.

I need to get the car back to my mate's garage for him to finish off my handywork but does anyone know if it's okay to gently limp it the 10 miles or so? As long as I take it easy and don't take roundabouts at 90mph then will I do any damage to the suspension?

Thanks for any advice. As you can see I'm a bit clueless when it comes to the mechanical bit (Now why didn't I think that when I decided to take it apart?)

Im sure you will be ok if you take it easy...and if im not mistaken, part of a Nitron suspension upgrade includes the disconnection/removal of the rear anti roll bar to aid grip with the rear wheels...
