Anti Roll Bar Rubbers

[Deleted]

I want to change all the rubbers on my anti-roll bar.
Has this ever featured in the mag? I can't find it. Does anyone know which issue will help?
Any advice?
Happy Rovering!

I cannot recall this procedure being featured in the magazine, but fear not, it is straightforward and follows the workshop manual for a change!

The biggest headache is likely to be getting the old rubbers on the links apart, as thirty years of road dirt will have seized the link rods, tubes, washers and nuts together. Smart move may be to get new link components then you can be more brutal in dismantling.

You may need extra jacks to compress the new rubbers during reassembly, but no major trickery is required. Just don't try to do one side at a time, as you will be working against the spring torque of the roll bar as well as the new rubbers.

I agree about the link tubes - even if you can get them apart you will likely find them worn where they go through the roll bar eyes.

Make sure you use the correct AF UNF spanners - its not very difficult compared to doing the other suspension rubbers!
