Yes - my mistake - it is VSE4786 not VSE4787 - too many fingers and thumbs on the keyboard! GM |

Now there's a thing. I just looked up my invoice and see that I was sent VSE4784. The difference between 4784 and 4786 is difficult to see on the photos. All I can say is that the one I bought did the job! Got it from ACE Parts in Sittingbourne.

Mine have just come up as a notification on my 130,000 mile 2011 V70 P3, so similar mileages to others. Thanks for your thread - it's helping me make up my mind about doing it myself or not!

The MOT also states wear in the "rear anti-roll bar ball joint" on both sides. Any idea which joint that means? I have already replaced the drop links (for this latest MOT)

I was thinking of fitting polybushes all-round, partly for preventative maintenance but also to help tighten control etc.
The prices for fitted seem to be alittle high though.. It's not 100 each axle from experience on a Subaru/other marques. |

My experience is they do give a harsher ride and because they to not cushion shock, they wear out quicker than rubber. Also the design of poly bushes is much more critical than rubber ones and if committed to fitting them you need to find a very good design. Of course they are not OEM and so have not had the hundreds of millions of development cash thrown at them. I was disappointed and went back to OEM. It's OK for track cars with low mileage, smooth surfaces and no expectation of comfort.
