hi all! been using this site for a lil and its been a massive help so finally joined up

but need some help guys have a knocking noise at the front which after checking and changing fee bits have narrowed it down the front anti roll bushes

after looking into it it looks like i have the old style anti roll bar with the plastic flange so it will have to either be a new anti roll bar with the metal bush mounts or if any one knows of a mod for the old style bar? thought bout changing the bushes for new ones on the old bar but not sure how they will fix to the old flange and for how long?

any help guys ?

Common problem with old style anti roll bar. All new OE anti roll bars have a metal flange to prevent your problem. You'll need a new anti roll bar and bushes.

Hi danbrown90

I had a similar problem in November -MOT time !!

I used the whiteline 20 mm alloy lateral stops to solve this as well as fitting new 18mm rubber anti-roll bar bushes sourced from GSF car parts.

The lateral stops needed a little modification to fit as the gap between the anti-roll bar at the bush 'saddle clamps' and the aluminium console it's bolted to is quite small.

Have covered 2000 miles since fitting them and no issues.

Read my review on the page this links to :

Altogether easier (and cheaper) than fitting a new anti-roll bar!!

Hope this helps.

Yeah that was my other option but wasn't sure about them but looks like they did the trick! How did u have to modify them they to thick or do they not clamp down tight enough? Any chance of some pics of urs? Would be much appreciated ?

Cheers for ya help guys this forum is great!

Had to file a bit off one side of the clamp. Possibly 1.5 mm !!

Fitting had to be done with the wheels on the ground and the steering on full lock.

Tightening them wasn't an issue. They might rotate very slightly in use (no evidence of this) but they definitely won't move along the bar.

Thickness of the clamp not an issue.

Will see what I can do about getting a photo of them for you.

Well worth the £22 I paid for them.
