OK so as some of you may know I have a 2002 52 plate Vauxhall Vectra B 2.2 CDX. It has aftermarket Lenso RS5 17" 5 spoke alloys and Falken Ziec or whatever tyres (195 45 17)
I also have all round Powerflex Black Series track anti roll bar bushes but with standard mounting brackets because I cannot for the life of me find brackets for these bushes.
The bushes seem to be slightly bigger externel dimensions than the stock GM parts which made it very difficult to fit them, and so far since fitting them the rear left "d" bracket has snapped where the loop becomes the tab that the stud goes through for fixing to the rear beam.
This has now happened a second time and Vauxhall are asking to look at the car cause they've never heard of one breaking apparently. By the way I bought 2 brand new 2 part rear brackets when the old left one broke to ensure the "weakest link" scenario didn't break the right one after time.
Questions:
Why is the left arb braket breaking more than once in the same place,
And,
Would I be worth simply fabricating some metal straps of some sort myself or is there anywhere I can buy proper mounts for my Black Series bushes?
Please help lol
