Another Anti Roll Bar Bush Question

[Yaris_Tsport]

my a/r/b bushes are knackered but the question is should i leave it to my mechanic to do at my next mot or should i get the jack and stands out and replace them myself???

Is it a easy job or pain in the !Removed!?

If you are able to undo a long bolt and nut then its easy. Just watch the order which you take out the washers and rubbers.

ALL parts (bushes, bolts,etc) needed to repair both sides (ARBs) come to £30 from Toyota. A friend of mine was quoted £145 to include the parts and fitting. So if, you're handy with a spanner you'll save over £100 labour.

Or if you have a new car warranty/toyota approved used car warranty/extended warranty then they'll do it for you.

I was quoted £190 from my local ***** Turpin.....oops, Toyota Dealer! The initials are the same, in reverse!

Also, one of the eBay sellers was going to negotiate a deal for TOC members, not sure if it is too late now or not! They were the price mentioned by another TOC member, but then discount to be arranged. B)

Strange... Can't put the short name for Richard in.... This censoring is a cnut! Tee-Hee.

Aah! But did you tighten it a lttle, before you tried to undo it? This, as many a mechanic would tell you, sometimes breaks the rusty seal that has developed. ;)
