Change front anti-roll bar bushes on Ford Focus.?

Please can someone tell me (or point me to) instructions for changing the front anti-roll bar bushes on a Ford Focus, 1.6, 2003 (53) Petrol? Looks like just two bolts on each clip? Do I need to undo the drop links to be able to slide the bush on from one end of the ARB or are the bushes split so you don't have to slide them all the way down from one end (or would this make them pretty useless?) Questions, questions.....please help





Thanks





Ash|||I believe you meant sway bar bushings. A sway bar is a sort of anti-roll feature for the body of the car since it keeps the body from leaning too far to one side in a turn.


The bushings are cut on one part so you can push them over the bar. They're self explanatory when you look at them. They will have a small bracket that goes over each bushing that holds them onto the body of the car and usually is held on with 2 bolts.


Some cars have polyurethane or urethane bushings available to replace the stock rubber type ones. Prothane and Energy Suspension are 2 big brands but there are probably more out there. The urethane or polyurethane will be stiffer and flex less which will make the car lean less as well.
