arbs
rollazuki:
Dude , the RTI for a landy is the same with/without an arb cos as standard it has very little articulation, however, free some more articulation up with longer shocks and lift kits etc and the arb needs to come off......
Just as an interesting side thread, Its all OK to say its illegal/unMOTable/uninsurable etc if you remove the arb's, but assuming you buy a 2nd hand disco(thats already had em removed) how would you ever know, how would the insurance ever find out(assesors that come to my place of work wouldnt know an arb from an octopus).
Theres a lot of used cars driving around with bits missing, non genuine parts fitted, botched repairs, in my mind, a car owned by an enthusiast, driven with care, with known modifications fitted is a lot safer than many used cars I see(especially taxis....dont get me going)
PUX:
Guys thanks for all ur help im going to take me anti roll bars off to give it a go as i have said mine is a very modded disco for off road yes it does get used on road every day but me being me i drive like miss daisy anyhow :lol: :lol: i have done certain driving courses through my job where i can safely say i can handle most cars at speed or slowness, anyhow like i said i have a 3'lift extended brake lines and dis cones and with out wacking some more money at it this has to be a good route for seeing wot i can get some, times u just have to try for ya self :wink: :wink: :D
MuddyMachine:
Pux,
with your 3'lift extended brake lines and dis cones Have you changed your Props, Radius arms or trailing arms :?:
Budgie:
When I put the caster correction radius arms on the the front of mine I had to remove the front ARB cos' it was touching the propshaft on level ground. The rear I took off at the same time as the balljoints needed replacing and, with a 3" lift, the ARB needed spacing.
I did notice a little more roll when cornering but that was sorted when I fitted the twin rear shocks. :wink:
Like RRB says, the suspension on my Disco is greatly uprated from the standard setup with +3" H/D springs and 6 ProComp ES9000 gas shocks. My insurance has a FULL list of all the mods to the vehicle, including photos & video of them all. :D (Well, they asked "a photo" to show all the mods and I couldn't fit all my mods into one photo could I!! :wink: )

Ignorance is, I'm afraid, no defence. As for insurance assesors, read "loss adjusters", glorified accountants most of them.
