hello i have a standard 325 and one side of the anti roll bar will not stay up. The clamp that holds it keeps coming out from the slot ,i have had a look and there is no rust around the slot but every time i refix it into the slot it pops back out when i drive. I cant see anything else that is bent that might cause this but the mounting clamp is quite rusty .
Anyone got any ideas and would this cause understeer?

Something may have rusted or been bent.

How does it look on the side that bolts in? Do both LH and RH sides look the same?

ETK lists as 'support shackle' - part number 31351127202, if the hook is mangled then change them and the bushes. Hope that helps old chap. :D

they both look fine no rust and nothing looks bent only bit of rust is on the shackle but in the middle not on the hook end
