Suspension bushes

[Cavalier342]

Hi all
Just wondering, i reckon the suspension bushes are a bit dry or maybe nackered on my car, but the trouble is there are different types, and i dont know which ones need looking at. When i drive at slow speeds, below 10mph, everytime the front wheels go over a bump, there is a quiet knocking sound coming from the suspension. I'm sure its not the steering, so my guess is the bushes. If anyone could help by suggesting which ones need looking at, i am very greatful
thanks.

Front ARB bushes it sounds like mate, Very common item on not just the Cavalier. These can be a bit of a bugger to change as the front subframe has to be dropped slightly to enable the bolt to be removed. There are also 3 or 4 thicknesses dependant on engine type too.

ARB = Anti Roll Bar if you didnt know

hi again i managed to find some anti-roll bar bushes online, but there are 2 sizes, 37mm and 39.5mm, as well as different bar sizes, 20mm, 22mm, 24mm. I'm guessing the bracket height would be the 37mm, and the 39.5 is probably for the high-end models, SRi and such. but if anyone knows what size the anti-roll bar is, it would certainly help I got a 1.8 LS by the way, all standard.
thanks, Andy
