Fun packed day changing ARB bushes.
Discussion
Spent all day changes the anti roll bar bushes, front and rear to poly. Haven't taken the car for a drive yet to see if its fixed my rear end knocking. but looking at the state of the old bushes i doubt it very much as they were okay, but since i had already taken them out, thought i may as well change them and going for a spin after dinner.
Only sheared one bolt, the upper rear. was preparing myself to drop half the suspension to get access with a drill and re-drill and tap it, but loads of WD-40 and some heat from a blow torch managed to get it free.
Fitted the bushes, then centered the roll bars with equal distances either side measured.
Not many pictures as after shearing the head off i thought i wouldn't have time.
No i didn't jack the car up there, just there as an extra safety support
Didn't take many of the front, used a small bottle jack to push the bush into position so that i could bolt it all back into place.
Had another good look whilst underneath, powder coating is good on the main rails, and outriggers, but around the engine mounts its peeling away in sheets. so summer job i think. paint and protect.
