Anti - Roll Bar

Missus had a funny knocking noise coming from the forn passengers foot well everytime she went down a bumpy road in her 06 plate Active Sport.

I took it back to the dealers thinking it would be the dreaded steering rack, but no!. The Anti roll bar has failed though "wear and tear".

It would appear as if fiat are happy for an anti roll bar to fail after 7K miles
and put it down to wear and tear.

The service desk says they have had a few cars with this propbelm in the past month of so!!

It would appear as if the Active Sports are build on the cheap I had nothing but problems with mine, the missus is suffering with hers, however when I upgraded to the 1.9 sporting....no problems at all (touch wood).

Really starting to hate the active sport. Any body else had the roll bar fail or shed any light on this

Re: Anti - Roll Bar

I would hardly call it a part to replace regularly due to wear.
