Dear All

Has anyone replaced their anti-sway bar rubber bushings? Are they easy to do?

Thanks

    Sorry mate,

    you need to replace the whole anti-roll bar if the bushing have failed. the older design was upto my93.

      Mine was first registered on 01 01 1993. I am sure it was produced in 92. Does this mean I can get the earlier bushings and just replace those?

      Thanks
      Matt
      PS You have a nice looking car!

    I bought a pair of Eurethane bushings with new brackets but I never installed them, still in box. I got the Entire sway bar package from Ipd, So if you want you can buy the bushiing from me for cost plus shipping .

    Before I bought my car the bushings for the sway bars were replaced along with the PNP switch. The total for the two was $449, and the PNP was $299, so figure about $150 parts and labor to put in the new ones. I dont have exact numbers, and besides it was his $$ anyways...so if that sounds too high than correct me.

      If this is the front sway bar and the early model with separate bushings,
      they are easy to replace without dropping the frame. Search the archive;
      bolts on one bushing mount are easy to undo from above (from the engine
      side), the other one (left, I think) from below.

      If the sway bar has vulcanised bushings, you have to replace the whole
      thing and it is more complicated (I never tried it).
