Has anybody tried fitting powerflex anti roll bar bushes as i got a set but they wouldnt fit right??
On my car(1.4 SRi 16v) and my m8's 1.4 16v Sport the bushes go around the tie bar, and the clamp on the roll bar looks like its welded onto flats in the roll bar?
Am i doing it wrong??
Anyone got anypics of their roll bar mounts from underneath?

the clamps are not welded on, they are a tight fit.

Yup Ok so where do the bushes go?? Back where the old ones come off they dont fit, internal diameter is too small on bush so it doesent reach all the way round the tie bar?
If i get a bigger anti roll bar from X16XE will it have diferent clamps/ Tie bar????

I thought the tie bars were same size and that is what they go round isnt it? They are replacements for the original bushs like i thought.
The box said Corsa Anti Roll Bar, so i guess they r not Nova ones, but the internal diameter of the powerflex bush is 21mm, the old bushs and tie bar are 23mm diameter so the bush doesnt fit right?
Have u got them did they fit OK?

Seems a common prob then, but PVD said 'They have never had the problem b4' as did powerflex when i rang them.
but i am pleased with the service from PVD as they have done their best to help and agreed to refund my money as they dont fit!

They do fit and are designed to be smaller than standard... apparently !! 
I fitted mine the other week and had the same problem, so called Powerflex and they said they're fine as long as the clamps closed up properly. Which they did.
