6n1 wishbones/anti roll bar

Post by Mabbi »

Hi Everyone
Just had my 1996 polo 1.6 6n1 fail MOT on worn wishbone bushes.
I am going to replace them myself and the ball joints too on both sides.
Ordered the following from gsf which are supposed to be the correct ones for my make and model.

However just looked at the new ones now and they don't have a bolt/plate for the drop link anti roll bar.
Too dark at the moment to look at the old ones still fitted to the car but I am sure that they have a plate for the anti roll bar.
Have looked around on ebay and other places and the only wishbones with plate for anti roll bars are for Golfs.
Anyone else have this problem.

Cheers in advance

Sorry peeps,
Just been out to check under the car
and the anti roll bar drop link connects via a bush through a bolt hole in the top of the wishbone and not to a plate on the side.
So they are the right ones.

Think I got a bit confused after watching Bodgit and leggit on youtube.

Cheers for a great forum.

I would replace the anti roll bar drop links too if you aren't already plus all the bushes
