Before I get under the car with a big bar is there a simple test for this component

sorry bro, i dont think so, i reccon having a gental pry with a bar is probably the easest way to have a look, mind you , you could go to some one like pedders where they do an inspection for like 15 bucks and ask them to spacificly look at the anti roll bar ? i think elbo greese is probabaly the first step. it could be worse some first steps are remove engine or transmition. lol

let us know what you find too !

I have had this problem. Clunk noise coming from the rear suspension. I decided to replace the bottom arm bushes and the anti roll drop link bushes. When I disconnected the drop link connection to the anti roll bar the swivel ball joint connection to the diff flopped all over the place and made a dull clunk sound. It was bone dry. no grease just full of dust and rust powder. Now I have to find 4 drop link units Hmmmm

Is your car a P38, Sounds like you are describing the rear suspension of a Classic?
