Got a minor fail on my 99 XJ for reasons:
nearside front anti-roll bar rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement
nearside rear anti-roll bar rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement
nearside front anti-roll bar attachment bracket/mounting insecure
nearside rear shock absorber has an excessively worn rubber bush.
Questions I have are:
Are the bushes/shock absorbers easy enough to replace myself ?
Where is the best place to source these parts?
Is it worth doing anything else to these bits while I am at it ?
Thanks in advance gents !!
-
all easy enough jobs and maybe light house for the bits a bobs. or even try your local factor.
-
new rubber bushes are easy to push into place with the help of some wd40.
rear anti roll bar can be removed then refitted after the mot if your stuck for getting parts.
the front bracket could be a case of just tightening up the bracket bolts.
I.E if it aint fitted it cant fail. (what have i started now)
