How long were they fitted before they failed? Curious to know if the appropriate grease was applied on assembly?

I dread to ask , but what exactly does the refusal sheet say , regarding te ARB ?
Is it possible to post a picture of the offending bar . I have yet to fail an ARB itself , many many links /mountings / bushes or balljoints but never the actual bar

they were from PFS back in 2012. ive done 4500 miles since then.
this is what the MOT says: •Nearside Front Anti-roll bar insecure and impairing directional stability fouling on the lower suspension arm (5.3.3 (a) (ii))

also failed on this:
•Offside Front Service brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f)) and advisorys on this: •Nearside Front Brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened rusty (1.1.14 (a) (ii)) •Offside Front Brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened rusty (1.1.14 (a) (ii)) •Nearside Rear Axle swivel pins and bushes swivel pin and/or bush slightly worn front mounts (5.1.2 (b) (i)) •Offside Rear Axle swivel pins and bushes swivel pin and/or bush slightly worn front mounts (5.1.2 (b) (i)) •Nearside Front Headlight wiper arm is very close to obscuring the headlight beam image. basically the guy was all over it. going round with a toffee hammer on the chassis. winging that he wouldn't have undersealed the bottom, which I said cost me £750 at a pro rust treatment company.

I'd just try and pick up another ARB from an s or v70, it's unusual for them to go in this way.
Service brake is an easy enough fix, worse case scenario is another caliper, there cheap enough.

"•Nearside Front Anti-roll bar insecure and impairing directional stability fouling on the lower suspension arm (5.3.3 (a) (ii))"
so the ARB isn't actually broken, sounds like the mounting bush is worn or the drop link has broken, can you post a picture? Drop links are easy enough and repair kits are available for the mounting bushes, I think you have to cut the old ones off as they are bonded on. Rest of the advisories seem fairly easy to do... |
