Hi all,

Just went through the vehicle test and i failed on a few things. Two of the fails related to different bushes.
I don't have a problem with changing them out but i am not sure what size to order? I have changed out other bushes with Powerflex ones so i am going to stick with Powerflex.

The front anti roll bar bushes are worn, now i know there is a 19mm and a 21mm but how do i measure the ones i have so i can order the correct size?

The test report says the RHR out wishbone worn, is that just the bushes on the wishbone and is there only one size for these?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Use a 19mm open ended spanner and put it over the anti roll bar, if it fits then that is your size. If not, try 21mm and 23mm as well (there are three sizes).

Check out this video for replacing the ARB bushes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNq5Q6ZL9bk

The Uppper Control Arm (wishbone) bushes are one size. Watch this one from EXOVCDS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAu7ci8vbbA

Brilliant, wasnt sure if is was as simple as putting the spanner on it lol.
