Club 80-90 Forums

on last years MOT, i had the following advisories:

"front anti-rollbar linkage rubber bush deteriorated but not resulting in excessive movement".

while the van is away getting the engine sorted, i intend to get what i need next time GSF have a flash sale; could someone point me in the direction of what i need please, quantities, and extras etc.

cheers

There is more than two if you include bar ends so you'll need to get under and look. Big ones that are bolted to floor are best replaced with powerflex if you can afford it. Rest probably not available from GSF though might be on their VEEWEE site. I found VW themselves were not that expensive for antirollbar bushes.

There is an alternative type.

Or Brickwerks sell these for the T25, or from e bay.

I got the drop-link bushes, washers and anti-roll bar bushes all from GSF last year. All cheap, had change from £20.

I mentioned powerflex early in the thread Kev. Personally I'd definately advocate them for the main antirollbar mounts (if budget can be stretched to them) simply because they do make a difference there and last much longer. I don't on droplinks but only because they have a habit of snapping and then you lose the new lower bushes you fitted. Would be different if new droplinks were used. As powerflex isn't cheap, its not always an option ofcourse - particularly if you're supporting a young family or are a student. The cheaper ones are fine but they will eventually need renewing again.

I'm just tight.
