Hey folks.
Hoping to get some help with tricks or tips for changing the anti roll bar bushes. Got new bushes and put them on the bar. Trying to get everything back in place seems impossible. Obviously the new bushes are bigger and tighter since there is no wear on them but its crazy hard to get them in place. So just wanting to try some generic tricks anyone knows but its an 06 shogun sport 2.5.
Cheers

Did one side at a time and used a pry bar to help squash the bar/bush intonplace to get the threads on the bolts started

Try using a jack to push it into place.

Tryed a jack and couldnt get it to balance well enough. Using a pry bar seems pretty logical.lol. did you do outside then inside? Or inside 1st?

Thanks for the replys.

I think the Sport must be different to the standard Shogun / Pajero (MkII) as the ARB pushed up to the chassis with very little effort as it is under very slight tension.

I've replaced all the anti-roll bar ('stabilizer' in the workshop manual) bushings on my Challenger without too much difficulty. This is the same vehicle as the Shogun Sport. The removal steps are to work from the outside bushings first, then the bushings that hold the bar in place and finally the link assembly. All as per diagram and instructions below.. Note that the outer bushings need to go onto the bars a certain way so that the flat surfaces fit the clamp brackets. If they are on the wrong way, you'll struggle to get the clamps done up.

If you're using polybushes use some copper grease on the inside of them to prevent squeaks. You'll regret it if you don't, and will have to do the job again. Like I did. Rolling Eyes

The other things to note are to keep both front wheels level, or else you'll put torsional force on the bar and that will make things both difficult and dangerous. Use axle stands to take the weight of the bar when you remove the inner bushings

Thanks for these responses. Got a chance to work on it today and totaly forgot i had asked on here. Wish i had seen these cause i forgot copperslip. Had it sitting but forgot. But good news is i finaly got it on anyway. Molegrips were the answer. Prybar was to long and couldnt fit properly and the jack just wasnt for playing ball but the molegrips held the clamps enough to get the bolts in and helped push the bushings into place. So thanks for all the help. Just wish i remembered to look here. doh!!
