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.
Stu.

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.

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).
