Recommend anti roll bar please

Post by 406HDi3 »

Hi all,

Since the anti roll bars are useless on Peugeots and wear very easily, can someone recommend a decent brand for the front of mine? (I'm certain it's these going over small road bumps, tappy/knocky).

I've a 406 Rapier Estate, 2.0 HDi 90Bhp.

There are so many on eBay but I just never know if they are worth it - despite them being so cheap.

You mean the anti roll bar link rods?(drop Links)

I use mostly First Line suspension parts, very strong and very good quality, never had a customer come back with a faulty one.

I was gonna say, the ARB's themselves are absolutely fantastic in Peugeots.

Cheers. If I replace the anti roll bar drop links, tracking generally required?

There are a couple of good threads on here, e.g., viewtopic.php?f=27&t=18692

Here's my old and new link.

The ones you want have two pleats in the boot and a hex in the end of the bolt. (New one.)
The ones you don't want have no pleats in the boot and a flat next to the end of the boot. (Old one.)

The hex is for holding it still with a hex key while you tighten/loosen the nut.

Useful fitting nice new ones but useless when trying to undo a rusted crap covered one as they just round off.

I find slicing through the boot and getting the mole grips in works or if you have one handy an angle grinder as its quick and it makes pretty sparks :cheesy:

As gumby says.

For fitting I prefer the hex because you're less likely to damage the boot.

For removing it's much of a muchness as either way it's molegrips job.

They were from eBay.
I'm pretty certain they're these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111214859996
It was this seller, and they were Delphi ones.

And the price has gone down since. I paid £25 for two.
