Covert · Post by **Covert** » 20 Aug 2016, 08:53

Whilst under the car i noticed the anti roll bar bushes are not in great condition , i know you can get them seperatly , but acording to the haynes manual, later cars they were vulcanised to the roll bar , its a 1997 car but unsure which ones i have ?

I cant seem to get the brackets apart thought they would just clamp down on the bush but apparantly not ....

They are definitely vulcanized to the bar.

This thread from last week is long but will have lots of relevant information for you: https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums ... =1&t=77246

Only the 1series cars from '91-'95 have them separatelly.

Not separate on a 95, US models 95 and and later the bars are all vulcanized. Well, so in Europe that probably converts to all 94's and later.
