Anti Roll Bar Bushes

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I need new anti roll bar bushes, from and rear.

 

The car is a 2002 Boxster S with standard suspension.

 

I am getting conflicting advise as to the size of these.

 

Can anyone confirm the sizes I need, and a recommended make.

 

Kind regards

I replaced my front and rear anti toll bar bushes and bought them from my local OPC, they were not very expensive and they will obviously sell you the proper size for your car. In my experience it is always worth checking your local Porsche centre for any new parts needed and they usually give you a 10% to 15% discount if you ask

Measure them.

I recently did this with a cheap vernier guage as I was refreshing my suspension and knew that it wasn't all original. There's an invoice in my car's history for sports suspension, but it's only for about £500, so very unlikely to be M030 stuff. Thought I'd better check. Bought a vernier guage, measured them, ordered bushes accordingly, they fit!

Cost me about £20. I wouldn't use fine tune a watch mechanism, but it worked for this.

Would recommend buying from OPC, grab the brackets, nuts and bolts too because the old ones, if never been changed, will likely be perished. Mine were £20 ish for the rear if I recall correctly. 

Bolts should go again, they are into threads, so no nuts.

Thanks everyone

 

I'll pop down to the OPC

A quick bit of info, the M8 bolts on the rear are 33Nm torque. These can seize, so apply Plus Gas or similar in advance and gently apply torque when removing them.

On the front, the M10 are 65Nm and the M12 is 100Nm and the M14 for the front tuning fork is 160Nm.
