Rear anti roll bar bushes

outnumbered · Mar 2nd, 2012, 12:24

i had a advisory on the rear anti roll bar bushes, i have spoken via pm to members thank you for your help and tips.
you can not buy the bushes you have to buy the bar at £130 you can get bushes from Latvia but they are 44 mm mine are 33 mm.
i was thinking out of the box of knocking a shim between the bar and bush to take up the slack the bar diam is 19mm i have seen these pic att top left in the picture, but need split ones, can some kind member point me in the right direction with links for something that will do the job that is split and has a good edge to knock in .
thanks
mike

The rubber bushes are bonded/moulded to the bar. The bracket is a loose fit over the bush (whilst its in its unbolted state as in the pic).

Compare against the IPD rear (as now fitted to the barge).

Note the blue (polyurethane) rear bushes - not bonded to the bar, nor are they bonded to the brackets.
Saying that, as mine were second hand from Shem and Tim fitted them so I'm not entirely sure how they are fitted but I'd probably say they are split at the bottom (the flat bit) so can fit over the bar against the stop.

As discussed last night, makes you wonder why Volvo have bonded/moulded the bushes to the bar?
