Anti-roll bars - off or on?

(1/5) > >>

hodgei:
I've just had a set of BFG AT's fitted to my V8i and I noticed that the rear anti-roll bar was detached on the near-side - ball joint popped... :'(

So do I get new joints and bushes etc... or do I take the bars off.

I don't do any off-roading yet but plan to as the weather improves and lanes are opened up. The beast is pretty much standard at the moment.


Iain.

mike142sl:
I guess they are fitted for a reason - probably safety, so I would suggest keeping them on.

Jake:
If the car is staying standard height then leave them on and replace the ball joints for nice new ones (not very dear)
If your going to lift the car you might want to consider removing them, or adding spacers
 :D

ben_haynes:
yes as jake says if staying standard replase parts

but if lifting it fit new anti-roll bars and put them the other way round (thus eliminating the need for spacers) i have done it on a mates car and it works very well

Range Rover Blues:
If it's been off for a while, you won't miss it-take it off.

If you find the car a bit leany, a bit of a handful on corners, a bit of understeer then put it back on.

Ben, you put it on upside down :-k  do you mean the end links on the back upside down, as in where they try to end up anyway?

If memory serves mine hit the spring that way and they limit travel too, so I'm confused :?
