Anti Roll bar bushes

[dward]

I have the usual W203 banging from the front going over rough terrain and pot holes / speed bumps etc.

Having read this forum it would appear this could be the Anti roll bar bushes.

NOW.... do i change the whole anti roll bar or can I just change the bushes?

if I can just change the bushes.. how hard is it. I am reasonably handy with a spanner!

Can i get just the bushes from MB? or is there any better places?

part number would be great..

Appreciate any help.

I changed the front anti roll bushes on my sl a few months ago. Took about ahour, and was quite straight forward.

The banging can be more than just the ARBB. Check the ARB links and the thrust arm bushes these are also ver common to cause the "banging"

how difficult are the arb links and thrush arm bushes to do?

You do not need any brackets, and the AMG is the same

 

[dward]

sorry confused.. the amg is the same item ... yes!

No its me tired tonight Yes as far as I can see it is, you do not need the anti roll bar, only the bushes and links

 

[dward]

so i guess from that you only ever need to change the ARB if its damaged, the banging noise (if it is indeed as thought) will be the bushes and/or links?

That is correct, the noises are a combination of the bushes and links
these parts are cheap from MB
