swiftkick Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hi, My freelander has developed a clonking sound when going over speedhumps etc. Its only when the left front wheel hits. The noise comes from the centre / left of the car near the dash / gear selector area. I've looked under but everything seems okay no loose suspension etc. Wondered if the wishbone is worn or something. Also the left rear wheel makes a knocking sound in the hub when I shake it vigorously when it's parked. What do we think these could be? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swiftkick Posted April 5, 2008 Author Share Posted April 5, 2008 I have noticed that the anti roll bar has possibly moved as I can see a shiny part which is normally under the bracket is now 1" to the left. Could be fouling the body of the car when I hit a bump? What would allow the ARB to move over like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swiftkick Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 Took it to the garage today - needed two anti roll bar bushes and clamps - £5.10 each plus vat !! Picking them up later. Are they a hassle to fit? Last time I did new ARB bushes on a car they were difficult. Are these ones the split type or do I need to take ARB off completely?

jules Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I could do it in about 20 mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swiftkick Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 I could do it in about 20 mins Cheers for that - did it yesterday and took about an hour - mainly because the left side has exhaust in the way and didn't have correct tools. Had to make do with a 10mm spanner as extensions to clear cat were wrong size! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
