A/R/B Bushes

[maxp]

Just got my car back from being tracked and the bill had a note that read "A/R/B Bushes!"

Im assuming that means anti-roll bar bushes need replacing? Ive had a gander on the net and it seems like quite an involved job - am i right?

Also excuse my ignorance but what would be the signs of these going...i thought bushes were just another layer of shock absorber / weight distribution?

If you jack up the car and support it on a stand.
Then jack up the wishbone till its level and then you can remove the arb bushes easier.

If its just the front eyelet bushes, which is likely, then its a doddle.

Get the front of the car off the floor and remove the wheels, under the front eye bush theres a 18mm nut, undo these and the eyelets should come out easy.

To replace the bushes its easiest to buy two new complete eyelets, because the shafts on yours will probably be worn and rusted, with all the rubbers you need, locking nuts, washers the lot... form GSF for about £9 per side.

Bolt them in place - done.

They're well easy to change.
