V70 Rear Anti Roll Bar Bushes?

Willber · Oct 3rd, 2022, 18:21

Ive had an advisory for my rear anti roll bar bushes the past couple of years so considering replacing.

It looks like a bit of a faff - anyone done it?

Putting a new ARB on would probably be easier but dont want to fork out £200 for one...

replaceing the bushes is easy its getting the old ones off the bar thats difficult.

Thats good to hear! Hopefully my old ones come off ok seeing as they're loose / have play anyway.

The new ones look like they need compressing to get the bracket back on and bolt lined up?

Checked my chassis number and came back as type 2 so a 19mm bar
