1 is dynamic anti roll bar. 2 is the passive bar as fitted to Disco 3. Disco instructions won't help really. I think the front dynamic bar needs the body lifting a touch or something else removing first.

Thanks dr rob, will contact them if can't get round lifting front, has anyone managed to fit front ARB rubbers without lifting body up, I don't mind purchasing a (special spanner) if needed, I'm not even 100% sure that is the low speed rough road tapping/rattling I can hear, I get a bit of movement with pry bar, pretty sure it's not control/wishbone arms because my last sport had Definitive clunk when applied brakes at low speed and dealer had them changed before I completed sale. |

Gilly I did mine last weekend and it's possible without the special tools but not the most enjoyable job I have done, a Flexi head ratchet spanner helps for sure but they are so tight so to get them started or nipped up tight I bent a ring spanner to get it up and over, I found the Flexi head ratchet spanner had a fair bit of play in the pivot when you put heaps of pressure on it and as it is so tight in there I found it easy to bend a spanner and leaver of the chassi etc. with a screwdriver handle and when there was nothing to lever off I put a chain on the ring spanner and had another person pulling the chain through the wheel arch with a screwdriver through the chain and levering off the chassi. I know it is not the most conventional way but it worked really well. |

There's no need to lift the body when replacing either set of bushes. Front require that the drive shaft be unbolted and lifted up, rear take 15 mins a side to do, it takes longer to jack up the car and remove the wheel than it does to change each bush. |
