Anti-roll bar grinding against fan belt pulley
« 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

Welcome to OOF Ali :y

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?
