Anti -Roll Bars...

<< < (4/4)

Range Rover Blues:
On a standard car, or a slightly lifted one I'd say leave them, they don't limit articulation as evident by the RTI values for RRC with and without sway bars as our American friends call them.  Once you get into serious mods/lifts then you have already redesigned the suspension, so as long as it's deemed safe for the road, who can argue?  as long as you tell your insurers and if neede get an engineer's report.

Out of interest, before roll bars were added, LR fitted stronger metalstic bushes to RRC when the EFi was introduced, to help the handling of the faster new model, I think these bushes were changed back on the ARB equiped models but I'm not sure.  If you poly-bush your car you WILL notice it gets stiffer, this is why I have 2 rear bars on mine, the front was too stiff/back too soft, particularly when loaded.

Then again, you should see the ARB under the back of my 'new toy', now that does go round corners :D

Thanks all...........

denviks:
mine didnt actully have any when i bought her. i did ask the owner at the time if he had taken them off to which he replid a definate no. he was the second owner. he bought it from a landy dealer so i can only assume that either it wasnt made with any or the first owner removed them for some reason many many years ago  :shock: . the mounts are there but they look like nothing has ever been fitted? could that be possible
