Title: MOT went well :) Quick question on anti roll links
Post by: billabong on 25 November 2011, 15:39

MOT went considerably well today..
Only two advisories:
Slight play in anti roll bar link on Nearside
Slight play in rear wheel bearing

Picked up a new rear bearing on the way home, I've done these before so shouldnt be a problem. How easy are the Anti roll bar links to do?

Ah same advisories my MK3 got

I wouldn't of said you needed a new wheel bearing, the rears you are able to tighten to take the slack out of them, which is something i've still to do

Anti roll bar links are really easy, although sometimes the bolts are rusted in place so it's best to whip them out because if their buggered you'll have to goto a motor factors and get 2 new bolts, once their out they are really simple

As above you should be able to adjust the wheel bearing.

but be careful - they are supposed to have a slight play - if its the ones with a split pin in them at least.
