0 gordy Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 My anti-roll bar rubbers are away on mine already after being changed last year. You get a clonk from them and not just on going over bumps, slight bend and dip does it. Easy to replace if you can get underneath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Semmysonic Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Definitely replace bushes as already stated and the drop links, ( seems to be a common fault) had to cut the old links off as the bottom nut gets badly corroded. Don't buy standard stuff, pay a little extra it's worth it. There is a link to eBay for good quality drop links and bushes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Deano1324 Posted June 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Where's the link please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Semmysonic Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 I can't find it but the meyle drop links seem to be the one to go for and I think moog bushes. Did mine and it was like driving a different car! If you scan through the forum for anything to do with a Knocking noise, like I said before it a common problem.

0 bignev Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) Yep!That's all I did on my 02 Ltd, and what a difference, sounded like it needed major suspension surgery before!But I fitted my mechanics boiler at home. So we have a very straight relationship when I take him stuff I can't or don't have time to do. Edited June 29, 2016 by bignev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Deano1324 Posted June 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Is it a easy job? How long it take ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 gordy Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) I'm getting my suspension parts from Jeep Chrysler parts now. Brake parts from Euro Car Parts. Small parts like handbrake shoe spring kits off fleebay. Had to get the intermediate handbrake cable off fleebay as no one else had it, Quinton Hazel part.Oh and as too the anti roll rubbers, there's loads of crap ones on fleebay so buy quality.

0 Semmysonic Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 It's an easy job if you can get the car high enough in the air, I did it on jacks and stands and it was quite fiddly took a couple of hours that's all. If your links are new you'll be ok, mine were rusted solid around the bottom nut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
