It's what I did. And it passed the MOT like that too. I'm sure they'll give up eventually, but they're horrendously expensive to buy. Good to know they can be swapped out with the tool though. I considered that, but I've never done one, so I bottled and took the "cheap fix" route first to see what happens. And it was a success. So it's an option at least.
There lots of knocking on the rough lane to my house!
To be fair I think the front anti roll bar bush being, well gone, it most of the problem.
I have to find out if I can get a new bush or if the front is bonded on like the back.
