Rear Anti Roll Bar Bushes

#1

Post by Pwheeldon »

Hi,

I currently have a knocking noise coming from the rear of my siii, I've changed the droplinks so now my second idea is to change the anti roll bar bushes. Does anyone have any advice or help please because I can only seem to source them from a dealer and they're £21.38 each which seems really steep to me. If anyone knows of others that will fit or performance ones or even know what the knocking could be every little bit of help will be massively appreciated!

Thank you!

BRD (Lou Brooks) on facebook does poly bushes for the ARB's if you wanted to go that route, will last longer and feel better than std rubber ones. https://www.facebook.com/Brooks.Racing.Dev/

+1 for BRD, got them in mine. They will come with new brackets so don't worry if the bushes look different from current ones.

I've always noticed the BRD ones come with brackets - howcome? When I replaced my bushes (admittedly not BRD) there was nothing about the original brackets that made me think they'd (ever) need replacing.

Probably easier to make the bushes that way. Mine were pretty orange when I did them. Either way should see the car out.
