front anti-roll bar bushes - excessive play

[desmond Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close desmond]

I have following note on my 70k service paper work:
- front anti-roll bar bushes - excessive play
- wear from n/s/f drive shaft oil seal

strange that nobody in Toyo approach me with this...and I just discovered that after going through the paperwork at home...
what is the best way to fix this? DIY or back to dealer? What do you think, is this something I should attend urgently? :|

front anti-roll bar bushes - excessive play

This can only be the "D" bushes that hold the bar to the body... not a big job, maybe take you half an hour to change and won't be expensive. Not especially urgent either... even if there really bad you'll only get worse body roll or noise from it moving around at the most.

wear from n/s/f drive shaft oil seal

Leaking lip seal... cheap part but a little more work to change... you'd need reasonable mechanical knowlege to DIY this but it's not hard. Not sure which one form "n/s/f" ----- side front??? Once again not urgent unless your losing excessive lube.

If it's under warranty take it back.... :wink:

n/s/f near side front maybe?

yep, dealer said that in their system these issues are marked as 'amber', so not urgent but worth keeping an eye on it...
Most likely to be replaced/fixed during next service, can be considered as warranty work.
