Anti roll bar rubbers

[parrish]

My anti roll bar to bottom suspension arm bushes are worn.
These are the bushes that compress either side of the control arm and are located at the end of the roll bar 2 per side.
Does anyone know where i can get new ones?
Does anyone have a part Number?
Yagmur? can you supply?
Regards
Steve

This might sound like 'sleeping with the enemy' but try Ford Escort Mark 2 bushes. I had all the bushes and rubbers on my Abarth replaced when it had it's winter lay over a couple of years ago and most were replaced with Ford equivalent. Whilst they might need a little bit of modification to fit properly they'll certainly do the job.

If you can get the Ford ones to fit that means you could get poly ones which are readily available for the Escort.

 You can get new polyurethane anti rool bar bushes from  www.racecar.co.uk/superflex

Interesting they list a few bushes for the 131. They are listed for 76-78 only though. Did the bushes change or will these actually fit all 131s?

[david]

I used to have 78 super and thats the same as sport so I think their listing is wrong, they also do universal ones for anti roll bar to track control arms which is the part his looking for

Hey , I just got several pairs for 3 euro a piece today !

If anybody is interested I can still get them here. They were the same as for Polonez , that's why they are still available in Poland!

PS watch out for the poly- I heard about some guys who did not realize polys were much harder than rubber and damaged their chasis (something had to give ... LOL...)

i  installed poly bushes on my lada's rear control arms several days ago and guess what happened? control arms snapped after 5 minutes of driving! took them off again and re-welded original welds that cracked. i just wander what's gonna crack next? rear chasis legs?

[mirafioriman]

In the UK many, many Fords run poly bushes and I have never heard of this type of problem. The better UK suppliers, however, supply poly bushes that are still quite soft. Perhaps some manufacturers produce bushes which are too hard and this is the cause of the problem?

Thanks guys,
Ill  try Ford escort MkII as i do remember that they are similar as mentioned above.
Miro, before i do order anything different, how much would it cost to send some to Spain, i would need 4 thats 2 for each side.

as far as i can rember mk2 escort rubbers are 1 for each side whare the 131
is 2 rubbers each side so wich 2 make them fit you would have 2 cut them in half
superflex only stock the rubbers for the antiroolbar and not the arm
that parrish and myself are looking for

[sid131]

what about aussie131 he had a thread a bout xmas time in which he had these poly bushes for sale.

[parrish]

Superflex sell what they advertise as 'Pin Bushes' Universal Shock absorber and ARB Link Pin Bushes. The catalogue contains a lot of different shapes and sizes, im wondering if any of these couls be modified?
Measurements would need to be taken of an original 131 bush in good unused condition (which i dont have).
Could anyone give me the dimensions and or compare the one they have with those available in the following link.
