Rear antiroll bar bush size???

Post by crash » Mon Oct 12, 2015 9:41 pm

Guys,

About to give the rear end a freshen up  :blink: and have got all new bushes, control arms, etc on the way. The one thing i have not been able to find is what rear antiroll bar bushes i need.

I see there are loads of the 22mm diameter ones for sale but many places state these are not for "sports suspension" models. I have a 55 reg 3.0d sport so do i need the 23.5mm version which seem to be few and far between unless going down the poly route?

Or is it a case of i could have either size depending on what they were fitting at the time of production?

Any help much appreciated

Ash

Have you tried www.realoem.com if you put in the last 7 digits of your Vin it will bring up the spec for your car look under rear suspension sub section stabiliser.

Just did a quick search and it list 23.5mm for Sport Suspension
4.6is X5 Estoril Blue (current)
4.4 X5 Sport Topaz Blue LPG (now gone squashed by a tree)
Subaru Outback 3.0 Rn Star Silver (current)
AMG 6.3 CLS Obsidian Black (sold)
