Thread: front swaybar bushes changed gen 1 MPS 3

    Default front swaybar bushes changed gen 1 MPS 3

    Just letting everyone know that the front swaybar bushes can be changed quite easily without dropping the subframe. I put the car on ramps, took off one of the braces and worked from there. Using a universal joint helped a lot as I could use a breaker bar sticking out towards the rear.

    Yep, first attempt I had (just to see if they were damaged and measure what size to find aftermarket) took a little while, mostly just time spent finding tools to work and what angle to attack from.
    But when it came to changing them, it took probably 20 minutes all up. Really easy job. Easier than dropping the subframe

    this seems the story for our car, getting/modding tools to fit in small/bad angle gaps...
