Rear Anti Roll Bar Links

Post by Thumpermike » Tue Jun 06, 2017 12:42 pm

Hi,
Does anyone know how much of a job replacing the anti roll bar links is?

I've been advised they need doing and i was aware of a slight knock on the back end anyway. Need to decide whether to have a go myself or get the garage to do them whist its there for a service today.

Cheers

The drop links aren't difficult to do. Soak everything in a good releasing agent prior - you may also need a little localised heat.

I replaced mine with a 'heavy duty' set from Advanced Factors - certainly look the part but did have one swopped when the tip snapped off tightening the nut up......

Only 'odd' tool needed IIRC was a crows foot adaptor to let you torque the nuts up or you can just go for the 'two gasps, a grunt and a groan' method we used to use on old motorbike engines :lol:


Drink, arse, girls, feck!
