Rear Sway Bar Busshings - Holden Astra TS (2002)

[ChriscoDom]

Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?

'sif the ARB does anything on an Astra anyway!

surely that is a control arm, not a sway bar.

In any case, visual condition should not be an issue, excessive movement under load (eg with a big pry bar) would be the issue. I can't see 99.999% of pink slip places even looking, let alone trying to test it

I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
