Title: Anti-roll bar grinding against fan belt pulley
Post by: age_of_generals on 10 August 2009, 19:21:33: Hi there everyone,

Not sure if this is the right place to post. But some one could point it put to me if it's not.

I have a 2.5TD omega, 95. I went over a few bumps at speed and started getting a slight knocking noise, initially when reversing, but then getting worse.

I removed the plastic tray from underneath and noticed the fan belt was half chewed away where the pulley was rubbing against the anti-roll bar.

I'm sure the anti-roll bar isn't meant to be that high up. I’m not sure why it has moved up, how much of a gap should there be between it and the pulley. The wishbones on both sides had been replaced about 5000 miles ago so surely it’s not them again?

Any ideas? I could really do with some photos or pictures of the anti-roll bar and it’s proximity to the fan belt pulley.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Ali

As already said, post this to the general help section, more people view in there than here. Where abouts are you? Maybe someone close by with a tractor you can compare to?
