Just a quick question.. I need to replace the anti-roll bar bushes on the front of my 1.4 tdi 9n.

Looking at getting some Powerflex replacements, but which size? 16mm, 17.5mm or 19mm? Not sure at all.

Thanks,
Chris

You'll have to measure the anti roll bar

Two things will determine what diameter of ARB bushes your car needs, (1) the ARB diameter, and (2) is the car old enough to have been fitted with the original style of ARB as this will mean that the point where the bushes fitted wil be bigger than for the later modified ARB. (originally plastic end stops were used so the pointing point would have been say 18mm + 2 or 3mm of plastic - later 18mm ARBs would be 18mm at the mounting point) - I'd reckon that most earlier ARBs should have failed by now, but you never know, ARB change build period was 2004MY I think.

Cheers for the replies guys.. looks like I'm just going to have to jack the car up tomorrow morning! I will let you know what I find
