Front Anti-Roll Bar Bushes
« on: January 25, 2016, 03:56:40 pm »
Hi all

I am still trying to irradiate the consistent knocking I am getting when pulling off. One suggestion was to change the front anti-roll bar bushes but when I have looked online I am being offered 3 sizes for the front, 22.5mm, 23mm and 24mm. Does anybody know how I can identify which is the correct fitment?

Thanks
Jamie

No completely standard set up currently. I dont think its anything to do with the suspension as the knock is not present when driving over speed bumps or potholes ect. It is when accelerating and letting off, the knock comes straight after???

Dogbone bush, engine mount or gearbox mount, maybe?
