S204 C class front anti roll bar bushes

[Tonygw]

Hi Guys

The bushes on my front anti roll bar look to be past their best. I have noticed more suspension noise than I am used to and I suspect its these bushes. I have replaced both the drop links and one lower arm, everything else seems tight without any play in the ball joints or bushings. But the anti roll bar bushes look squashed and very cracked.

Can these be replaced? I did a search and it looks like they are bonded and need an entire new anti roll bar. Seems a bit crazy.

Is this the case? Or can they be replaced?

Anybody done an anti roll bar swap on the front? Is it an easy job? Looks like its just a case of remove bottom drop link bolts remove undertray and unbolt the bar? But things are never that simple LOL

Is it very common for these to fail? Any advice always appreciated.

I changed the front arb with the bonded bushes on my a207 and it was pretty straightforward, I did the drop links at the same time. I don’t think there is any easy way to just change the bushes.
