Worn front anti roll bars common problem?

As above. Got a squeaky annoying sound coming from front drivers' side on turning left and sometimes when braking. More noticeable when turning in slow, like on a t junction or into my drive (probs cos I can hear it over a revving engine and exhaust!).
Been told it may be worn ARB bushes - is this a common problem? Powerflex outers or inners worth buying if so?
Could be top mounts as i replaced the bearing with a cheapo?
 
more likely to be the metal part of the top mount (the top cup) rubbing on the body where it passes through the hole. Common issue, I still use the original renault solution which is to lightly trim the hole out with a die grinder at the points where contact has been made. The fact you've used non genuine mounts may be to blame though.
 
Cheers Dan, wouldn't that also be solved with the washers I got to cure the issue?
 
Ah ok. Suppose my shocker looking sorry for itself that side doesn't help with the tops rubbing?
