My ford fiest anti roll bar bushing clamps have snaped. The haynes manual says I need to drop the subframe, disconnect gearbox linkage and steering etc. A major job just to replace 2 clamps over a bit of rubber. On top of this it states I need to use specialist tools to then put back together.
My question- is ther a short cut to avoid dropping the subframe and all that goes with it and do I really need the specialist tool to realign the subframe?|||The correct way to do it is to drop the sub frame. However in the real world all you need to do is fit a bottle jack between the anti roll bar and the sub frame. Loosen the clamp and jack the anti roll bar down enough to get the rubber bush out.
Ja.|||use strapping to hold the anti roll bar together but be careful. i dont know about the fiesta but on my mondeo i used an extension socket to align the subframe maybe you can do the same
