#1: anti-roll bar link + bushes Author: Lewis1592, Location: Aberdeen, ScotlandPosted: Tue Apr 12, 2011 6:24 pm ---- Got car back from full serive (ive got AA cover, and they wont let me do it myself :S) but was told the front driver side anti roll bar link bush was needing replaced. seems an easy enough job. but i need some of your help with making sure the part i get is correct.
garage wanted £50
as far as these parts are going...its only looking around 15-20 for it
just need to know. ill do both sides because no point just doing one. other will just follow n all.
many thanks

You may need an angle grinder to take the old ones off, you can get one from Argos for 15quid and that would be perfect for this kinda job.

just undo the 2 bolts and swap the bushes, 10 min job
no need to undo the drop links

Bushes were about £5 each from Peugeot last year.
Very simple/easy job to change them.

There drop links.
The antiroll bar is another part of the front suspension & that has its own bushes.

There is a flat part that you can hold with a spanner. Probably 16mm or so.
