Rear Stabiliser Bar Bushes and Brackets
Posted: Sat Aug 09, 2008 2:17 pm
Just returned from a 3000km trip around Southern Germany, Austria and Switzerland, During which I managed to shear one of the rear stabiliser bar brackets off and consequently the bush is nowhere to be seen.
I've seen replacements on Bongobits for a tenner (bracket and bush) and it doesnt look too bad a job. Or is it? I'm waiting on parts to be delivered (live in Germany) so got time to kill and reserach to be done before getting monkey mits dirty.
The manual I have says to soap the bushes before installation etc. Is it just a case of Jacking up rear end and unbolting old one, replace and bish bash bush...sorry couldnt resist
Secondly, would it be worthwhile to renew the otherside whilst I'm at it?
