I actually replaced full active ARB but the process is the same for the clamps TDV8 now with extra grin factor thanks to Alive Tunning: Gone but not forgotten

Many thanks rob , let me know how you get on ( difficulty rating ? ) . Those tools are quite expensive but I guess if it's a case of having to replace the front bushing every couple of years as I've read they may be a good investment ! Good luck

Err dont think you read my post properly Laughing ....I have already done it

Full swap of active anti roll bar on my drive just on axle stands. Start to finish in the day.

Having done the bar swap I recon could do bushes in an hour or two max as long you have the tools and a 15mm flexi head ratchet ring spanner

Others say you can do it with just spanners but wouldnt fancy it TDV8 now with extra grin factor thanks to Alive Tunning: Gone but not forgotten

Your quite right rob I didn't read it properly , it's a pity your so far away I would gladly pay you to do mine ! I've emailed 2 local Indys to quote for the work and neither have bothered to reply after 3 attempts , think I will have to use the good old fashion telephone 😄 . Did you use landrover bushes or the powerflex ones I've read about on here ? And did you get the new bolts from a Land Rover dealer ? Sorry for all the questions ! Many thanks

Hi rob , just had the sport in for new bushes but they have found that the active bar is leaking over one side so they suggest new anti roll bar with all that goes with it for £1550 , just wondered how you found your car sounded ( knocks and thumps ) after you'd had the newARB . Major improvement ?? Cheers

Yes was a dramatic improvement but to be honest that may be down to the new bushes and slightly re designed clamps rather than the ARB bar as never really lost that much fluid

Its hard to say really TDV8 now with extra grin factor thanks to Alive Tunning: Gone but not forgotten
