how long to change a 1.8 16v Anti roll bar and bushes?

[jwarren2k2]

Hi,

need to replace my ARB, just wondered how long it would take, and also how hard/easy it is?

ive got a haynes but not with me at the mo so havent looked.

Will i need to drop the subframe? Not a problem if i do, done it a couple of times before!


Cheers

Subframe doesn't need dropped but it can be a pain getting the bolts on - buy plently of clamps!

[VIPERONE]

I rank it as a tedious task.

its a pain to line up and clamp the bolts on

[Coops]

ai, as above not too long but fiddly,

one of those 'how the f*&k does that go on, no way is it gonna fit'

slip....bang

'oh! like that'

only thing you've got to make sure of is that it's central

[jwarren2k2]

sounds like a normal job on the clio then!!

i'll put the swear jar in a cupboard so it doesnt hear me then!

ive got loads of clamps so 'hopefully' i should be ok!


thanks for ur help guys!

i did mine the other week and i ended up cutting the 2 rubber "washers" in half :shock: lol tbh i was worried that i might be ****ing it up but they are only washers after all so i think all is good!
