rear anti rollbar bush on estate

[paulrudrum]

can any tell me if it is an easy job to fit new rear anti rollbar bushes to a 406 estate. going to try it myself only looks like to bolts on each side. dont want to undo them and the back end of the car falls off.

Not done them on the 406 yet mate, but on all other cars the centre bushes (where fitted) are split down one side (if new ones) and just slip in under the brackets after wrapping round the bar, the ends of the ARB usually have steel drop links which bolt on at each end to connect it to the suspension. The bar would fall off if unbolted completely, but the car wont fall apart. well saying that, its a pug.......lol

Just done mine on saturday, quite easy job the bolt into the chassis was the bogey though plenty penetrating oil and work it back and forth to destroy the rust and eventually the bolt and nut come off.

tried to do my bushes today and one of the bolts has snapped off on the drivers side can anyone offer any advice on how to get it out.

Oh christ, has it snapped off flush or is there anything to get moles on?
You'll have to soak it in WD40 now that the tension is released and then use a reverse drill bit or an EZOUT, either that or get a drift on the side of the bolt and hopefully it will start to move.
