anti roll bar removell

[Disco_Stu]

I finaly got round to polybushing my radius arms yesterday, in the process I removed the anti-roll bar.
I've decided to leave it off to see what difference it makes, I'll be re-fitting it if it seems unstable or wayward in any way.

I spend much more time on the road than off it in my motor, gotta have a bit of balance between articulation and control.

RRB - i have standard Disco with police rear springs and Southdown Tank Guard and still managed to fit with out modifying ARB mounts  :-k this is the second time i have heard this about them needing modifying, have i done something wrong  [-o<

You were probably lucky.  When new the Southdown comes undrilled at the sides, you jack it up untill it contacts the chassi aheadof the fuel tank and drill it in place.  It often fouls the rear ARB slightly, as my ARB brackets had been retro fitted I didn't trust they were correct but I've since found others had the same thing happen.  Just one of those things I guess, if yours fits without spacers then all the better.

On a lifted disco, what prevents you from just fitting the arb with the short links going upwards from the axle? Does the arb links have to go below the axle mounts to clear items like the exhaust?

Firstly they will hit the bottom of the spring, possibly damage the brake pips and fight the rear lower suspension link for control of the axle.

Secondly it limits the droop travel of the rear axle slightly IIRC :-k but making the rear ARB effectively stiffer (it's a geometry thing).
