What are anti roll bar links and brushes?

Hi all,





Brought my car for NCT today (National Car Test Ireland) and it failed on "worn anti roll bar links and brushes." What are these and is it expensive to get them replaced?





Thanks!|||It is pretty simple on most cars so low labour cost, and the bushes (usually rubber) are typically only a few pounds/euros.





Typically:


1) Undo a nut on the end of the link where it attaches to the lower arm, and remove nut, washer and one bush.


2) Do the same on the opposite side of the car.


3) Raise link out of lower arm and remove other bush.


4) Do the same on the opposite side of the car.


5) Remove the links from the anti-roll bar, again probably a nut, washer, and two bushes each side.





Reassembly is the reverse, often specific torque loads to get the correct compression of the rubber bushes.





If you advise what make and model, you might get some more specific advice from someone who knows the details.





If this is all it failed on, it's pretty good news.|||Common fault. The anti-roll bar does what is says - stops the car swaying too much when you corner. The bushes link the bar to the body.





Not a big job 120 - 150 euro. A place like Kwik-Fit might be able to do it (Ireland ?). Phone in advance and ask for a quote. This is usually about 10% less than you would pay if you just drove in.|||just type into search box
