Anti roll bar replacement

**ged** · Sunday 20th June 2010, 22:05

i,ve been getting a random knocking noise from the front of my 1999 c70. ive replaced the drop links,top mounts and both wishbones so now its the anti roll bars turn.
i was wondering if anyone had changed this and what kind of cost was involved, as when i went to volvo for a price they said it depends on the c70 but could be £100 - £170 for the part alone.i could probably do the work myself although i'm not too keen on droping the sub frame so any advice with be welcome.

has anyone had this replaced by a garage maybe volvomax in glasgow as i would probably put it in there if its to much involved in the d.i.y.

Fitted IPD to mine (850). Garage said about an hour - less involved than you would think although the rear of subframe is dropped and steering rack released. No great shakes on a four post jack apparently.
If you are changing them, do the IPD you wont regret it and not vastly more expensive. Go to Kalmar Union (Don Norchi) or PFS.

Knock could be ARB bushes.

I have IPD on my C70 and I don't regret it. If you have a knocking noise - could be that the ARB drop links have come loose. It happened on mine.

But if you are replacing the ARBs - IPD is the route I'd recommend.

i'll double check the drop links but i can feel some movement in the arbs so i will have to change them.
