   both front anti roll bars are knocking over bumps. is this an easy job to replace them myself and would i need any specialist tools?

   Do you mean the anti roll bar drop links? If so they are a very easy job to change.

   I've just done mine this morning was easy to get them off its just four nuts and the links are dirt cheap. Be prepared to have to get a cutting disc out I had to cut one off but it took two seconds and its made a massive difference.

   he probably means the front droplinks then. Its unlikely you'd need to change the antiroll bars.
   
   As for the back, it works a bit loose sometimes and makes a noise like two glass bottles hitting eachother. Just needs tightening back up, again doesnt need replacing
