2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 Metropolis LE Auto Bonatti Grey

Rear Anti Roll Bar Bushes

Think I will get my rear anti roll bar bushes changed due to a very slight clonking sound ( thought it may be coming from the harmonic dampers as they seem very loose )
Anything I should be wary about when changing them ?

easy to do but the bolts may be a bit crudded up so plenty of penetrating spray and you may need to work them bach in to clear the threads Donâ€™t worry it is supposed to sound like that...honest

As BP said - watch the 2 fixing bolts.

Don't be tempted to to undo them in one hit - lots of penetrating spray and work them.

Did mine a couple of weeks ago and getting the 4 bolts out took the most time. Refitting took no time. Transformed the car and no more clonks !! 2013 Evoque

No worries mate

You'll be just fine. Luckily they are very easy to get access to and fitting the new ones could not be simpler ! 2013 Evoque
