I’ve got to replace the rubber bushings on the stabiliser bars where they go onto the alloy pedestal. Can you just remove the pedestal caps and simply drag the axle back with the brakes off, or is it best to unbolt everything and drop the bar? Best to take the wheels off or leave them on? I did a complete stabiliser bar replacement a few years ago when the bars themselves were actually worn, but I just need to replace the rubber bushings this time around. It’s a dual alloy pedestal btw.

Being dual pedestal and this is the front pedestal where the wear is, you have to drag the front axle back, compressing the jack shaft. Easiest way now I look at it is to take the front axle wheels off and drop the stabiliser bar entirely. Shouldn’t be too hard. What do you think of the wear? Can it wait or should I do it over the weekend? Rear stabiliser bar and all other bushes look good. -
