Picture of anti roll bar bushes

Morning all,

Could anyone post a picture of their antiroll bar bushes? I want to check mine, but haven't got a clue what I'm looking for! :S

Cheers.

is there a problem with ur car?

Well..... Ride seems to be a bit rubbish, even on roads that appear smooth, car always seems to be bobbing about, banging, reacting to things on the road that I can't even see. Almost feels like the dampers are rock hard - Handling in corners seems to be okay though....

So, having looked through a few old threads I thought I'd start trying to look at some things I can do myself first, before paying a garage - so going to try regreasing the bushes.

After that I'll probably end up getting new dampers.

there are four bushes - one on either end of the bar and two either side of the middle of the bar (underneath the car). i guess you could try lubing them with WD40 or something (just to give you a diagnosis). WD40 won't last long, though, and you'd ideally want to be taking the bushes off/out to grease them properly (not a straightforward job)

Ah - ok. Presumably using a bit of WD40 won't do any harm though? As long as it gives me a chance to have a quick drive and see if it seems any better.

Thanks for your help (although if anyone has a photo it'd still be appreciated).
