Anti roll bar - 340R

Gareth · Post by **Gareth** » Wed May 04, 2011 1:52 pm

My anti roll bar is making a horrendous creaking noise. Seems to be coming from the middle of the car. So I understand there's a rubber/nylon bush in the middle. Front undertray off and replace with this:

Is that right?

TIA

Those are the ones, easy job, but do not know if the 340R has a standard roll bar or stiffer one. Look at the ends, if they have four holes in they are the uprated ones, if plain they are standard.

Speaking rubbish. It's adjustable

You don't need to replace the bushes Gareth. They just need greasing. Yours will have the nylon blocks rather than rubber bushes so easier to do.

Also worth mentioning the nylon blocks are prone to crack, so worth checking while your there.

Two undertray bolts spinning!
Argh!!!
Can't get them out.

What a nightmare.
Had to drill the pop rivets out of the undertray.
All done now and no more squeeking!

Good stuff!

EDIT: Just got your voicemail. Did try to call you back earlier . Glad you got it sorted anyway. Sorry I didn't help.

No worries Dan. Didn't really expect you to answer in the evening.
4 hrs to get a undertray off. Rather frustrating!

Look on the bright side Gareth, you can put them all back in fresh now and it will come off easier next time something breaks

We've got some smart new fixings on UJI actually, using placcy fasteners where once there were bolts and rawlnuts (trailing edge of wheelarch liners...who thought up the rawlnut idea for in there eh

)
