Hello All,
I have spent an hour or so reading through the threads on the ARB issues and am almost certain the knocking/rattling on the drivers side is attributed to this problem or design fault!
I have found out that many people are changing the plastic ARB bush to a rubber one usually fitted on Polo's/Roomster's etc. Here is one I have found on Ebay and has a 20mm ID but from what I can gather the a. roll bar is 18.1 mm dia. Will this but suitable or is it too slack?

I gather that a mechanism is needed in the form of a collar or pipe/jublee clip in order to keep the bush in its position. Will a Jubilee clip do even if it doesn't look like a pro's done it? I saw someone had found a collar on RS website but I can't find that and it is probably too expensive and hassle. I also don't want to upgrade the entire ARB as I like the car but don't intend to through money at it as my VW T4 Camper is my baby!
Expect other's would like to know the summarised in a nut shell guide on this matter as there is about 8 years of threads on this issue.
Cheers
Aaron
