| Just had my front anti-roll bar replaced at 54k miles. The old one was banging around - all its bushes had failed. There was no way of just replacing bushes as whole assembly is involved as bushes moulded onto the anti-rollbar itself. Labour cost was 1.5 hours for two fitters! Do new bushes need greasing or silicone spraying, etc, please? |

| Its not the bushes that cause the issue. There are two collars on the bar that stop it moving sideways. These break off and the bar moves.
