Styling To lower, or not to lower... -- but with a dodgy neck!

It seems euro car parts now does the inner anti roll bar bushes separately for £7.08 each...

This is a good find! I was struggling to find them anywhere else. Now ordered.... Thank you! :worship:

I need to change my rear springs soon and most likely the front springs and shocks as they are getting tired. I also think I'll need a clutch at some point so trawling these sites for a bargain is always good fun

Absolutely! I was on the verge of starting a spreadsheet for all the suspension prices I'd been quoted...!

In any case the prices for parts on these cars are all pretty good especially having owned cars from other brands in the past where they think of a number and triple it

Have to agree. When I owned the Isuzu Bighorn, everything seemed to have to come from Japan... -- even the side window (which was taken out by an oick with an air rifle...): although that was covered by insurance... -- and parts were charged accordingly.... Add this to the cost of running a big turbo-diesel, capable of no more than 28 mpg (with a following wind...); and it was insult plus injury equals...

You can buy both inner and outer bushes for ARB, I've got a set awaiting time (motivation). I got both from eBay

If I was doing it, I'd probably get a bar from scrapyard, clean it up, paint (or powder coat) it, then (try to!) fit the new bushes.

But the "cost" (money and heartache) might be lower if you just buy a whole new ARB.

Saying all that, I've still got the original bar and bushes, all a bit tired, and it doesn't phase the mot examiners, even though I think the bushes are very tired.

This thought had also crossed my mind....

I shall let you all know what happens....

Car back, with lots of shiny bits installed.... There'll be a full(ish) write-up in Priscilla's Members Motors thread, in a while. (Click on her name, in my signature, below....).

What I will say is that the ride has been transformed... -- so a big thank you to everyone for their help, wisdom and advice.... :worship:
