3 door rear anti roll bar ,maybe rs matt can help here
Hi. Last week i changed my diff mount to a msd item, while i was under the car fitting it i noticed my rear anti roll bar bushes were past it . So today i went to burtonpower to collect some powerflex ones . I remove the old ones and fit the new ones only to find that i can move the roll bar about and left to right . Called burtons and they said standard 3 doors are 14mm . Now the bush sits ok round the roll bar but the overall bush is not big enough .Went back to burtons and all they said was i must have a uprated arb and gave me a refundbut im pretty sure its standard .
The numbers on the ford bushes are
V85BB-4A037-AA And they measure from top to bottom 38mm .
Can anyone just take alook at theres for me as the powerflex ones only came out around 34mm and there no good !!
RS matt i see you just fitted new ones if you can shed any light on the above it would be a massive help

Afaik all bushs are the same "outside diameter " , the difference is in the cut out for the bar, 3dr,Sierra. 2wd,saff 4x4 , escos all have different diameter bars.
3dr is a different mounting item, others are swappable....
Maybe you have a saff beam on your 3dr...

Why i was in burtons he tried 4x4 and 2wd saff powerflex bushes .They all came up to small .Flat edge at the bottom was around 4mm shorter than the bush clamp.

The above part number was wrong for my car mate
I understand that the roll bars are 14mm or 16mm .
The powerflex ones i fitted were ok around the roll bar but the whole bush top/bottom was way to short .

The above link are the ones i tried to fit, now from the bottom of the hole to the flat edge of the bush needs to be around 3/4mm thicker to fit my car .
As far as i know its a standard roll bar with standard ford bushes .
May be worth the people who have fitted these to just go have a look and see if there is movement left/right on there roll bar .
As soon as i removed the ford bushes i could see straight away the size difference.

Thanks brammer thats a great help mate......soo today
I called powerflex head office not to complain to to find out what the issue was,the guy there was a great help and said he would call me back within the hour.
45 mins later he calls me back, turns out a few years ago at powerflex there was a fire , after the damage was done some bushes were made to old spec and part numbers etc crossed and mis made . Turned out he had a 3 door cosworth in there yard so he measured the bushes on that car and said my findings were correct the bushes i was sold are wrong.
He also said they didnt stock these larger bushes and as i found out a cock up on there site they are re making them and posting me a set for freeeee
SO anyone with a 3 door who wants to replace there old ones give them a call as there re making them within the next 2 weeks
