CVRT Anti roll bar link fail

zurbfoundation

hi lads - the van failed the CVRT on a few bits, one is the Anti Roll Bar Link - now it said the links, I inspected it last night - below is a picture of the link the top bushing (on the right end of below) seems perished enough and has shrunk, the other rubbers (on the left end of below) seem ok, and the link is not broken or anything. So the question is, can I replace the bushing and leave the rest of the link? OR do i need a pair of links?

Your link is not working

In general always replace suspension bits in pairs or you will get imbalance.

So if one replaces a drop link on one side and not the other it creates an imbalance?
Your post makes no sense.

So - replace whole link assembly or just top bush? Will stick a photo on here in case it helps

Well to be fair it is usually a good idea to change these parts in pairs because sometimes it can cause issues if only one side is changed......sometimes, not always.

If each bush is changeable and easy to do then id change them all. If a whole assembly was cheap then id look at changing that instead as it could be quicker, less hassle etc.

Yes the bush is changeable and from researching it I can only find reference to people changing the bush not the whole link

Hmm yeah, for a droplink that can be changed just on one side (I've done it myself with no issues at NCT later).

I suppose if you feel it is all needs doing then id change just the bush. No point changing anything else if it doesnt need it.
