Customer statement / workshop findings
Workshop findings:
Front anti roll bar link lower bushes have small cracks on the surface
NOTICE

Technical background
Front anti roll bar links have been incorrectly diagnosed and unnecessarily replaced
Front anti roll bar links were replaced due to minor splits being identified during a routine service inspection or noise complaints
However
Once the front anti roll bar links were replaced, the noise was still evident resulting in further diagnosis being required to identify and resolve the
issue
The minor splits (Figure 1) are visible on the surface and do not effect bush integrity
Do Not replace the front anti roll bar links when small splits are identified on the lower bushes as shown in Figure 1
