just had my 72k service which passed pretty much okay aside from the front LHS anti roll bar being broken. honda west end reckon its £90 for the part, no word on labour cost. Is this repair easy to do? Is this a possible diy repair with the right tools expertise? Or could an alternative garage carry out?

Cheers

I had a courtesy honda jazz for the day whilst the service was ongoing. what a pleasure it was to get back driving the s. you forget just how great a drive it is until you toil about in something else for the day then get back in the s. is it sad to say i had a beaming smile on the way home? Plus she was all clean and shiny!

 

The car has only the one anti-roll bar at the front.

Could your problem be a broken drop-link that connects the ARB to the suspension arm?

If this is broken it costs around £50 for a new one. It can be a bitch to remove these from the car if they are badly corroded. You may be able to pick up a second hand drop link from a breaker for £10 - £20.

 

I had to do mine all around. A bit of brut force helped them off, but it saved me £45 each for fitting.

I say do it yourself.

Both mine were broken, I let the dealer do it as they serviced the car.. charged about £160 for them both incl labour.. seemed like a bit much, but i couldn't be assed with DIY'ing
