So my Westy has been making a clunking noise every now and then under the right front wheel, I peered under there today and the anti roll bar straight link on the right side has snapped!!

I'm going to change it this weekend, is there anything I should look out for, or change at the same time, and do they snap often?

Mine also broke a while ago. Luckily for me the rubber bushes and the washers were still stuck to the swing arm.
As I am tight and did not want to spend the money on a new link bar, I cleaned up the end where the thread had broken off and drilled and tapped it it to M12 and fitted a bolt and spacer tube at the grand cost to me of zero pounds.

Can you change the straight link without removing the whole anti-roll bar?

The book of lies isn't much help.

yes, lubricate it and slide it off the end over the bulbus bit.......

sounds worse than it is!

Thanks, I'll give it a go tomorrow night.
