Hi
The end of the torsion bar (A1073262365) where it bolts to the "rod/arb" A1153201589 has snapped.
Looks hard to replace this.
Does anyone have any ideas or advice on (a) where to source a cheap replacement and any tips on fitting? Can it be done DIY? I have a feeling this one's going to hurt
EDIT: Looking at it more closely, is it possible that i just need a new rod (A1153201589) and not the actual whole bar? it appears that the balljoint has broken free, but its hard to tell as there is so much rust around the actual bar, but it looks the "hole/gap" is intentional....??!
Some pics:
cheers
