[Mk2] [Turbo] 1992 front anti roll bar bushins!??

Post by Shane 16v »

My bushins are gone on the antiroll bar and went to a few local auto stores to get some and non of them listed any!

So I went on to ebay and ordered a brand new set and two days later they arrved! the one's I got where these and look the same in the pic but the one's I need are shorter one's and have a bend on one side to connect to the suspension!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0170399065

Went on to the place on ebay that I got these one's off and they said they never heard of front one's wif a bend on one side!??

can anyone point me in the right direction as to where I culd get a set!?

It's "MR2lovers" of the site old white TRD kitted MR2 BTW!

maybe it does, but it is not supposed to be like that
do you have standard struts and standard anti roll bars?
maybe you have a front on the rear or vice versa?

the car has the TRD wid arh kit on it and has spacers on he front wheels and I think the ant roll bar bushin/link bar has been addapted t stop the wheel rubbing on it on full lock!

Was taking to the mechanic there and he said them link bar bushins feel OK ad it's prob the actual bushings on the anti roll bar itself that are done!

It started off wif a bit of a knocking sound when going over a bump that gradually got worse and then the seteering all of a sudden felt funny and pulled to the left when I let go, so it's sonething o do wof the anti roll bar I think!
