rear anti-roll bar?

madeupname · 27th August 2019, 09:58

Neither of my cars has a rear anti-roll bar. So I'm on Rimmers site and there are two available.
One is for unlevelled, the other is for uprated.
How do I find out if I actually need an anti-roll bar or not? and why the diffrerence?
Thank you.

EDIT - forgot to mention, one is 04 plate and the other is 54.

Rear anti roll bar was deleted during Project drive, early cars have one, later don't

So do you really want/need one is the question

Exactly.
I think I'll save some money and not bother.
I'll use the funds to get a new fuel tank strap instead

So won't be saving anything after all -

Never rains but it pours

I have a stainless tank strap in the shed somewhere

got it 3 years ago, never bothered

Well I've got new upper and lower arms, new springs and dampers, and I',ve recently put new backplates, discs and pads and brake cables on. I've got a rear subframe coming from dmgrs, so it makes sense to put a new tank strap on while everything is off the car.
Besides, while I was putting the new cables in I saw that rust was layering up on the strap so it looks like it'll need doing sometime soon anyway.

Next job will be cleaning up all the replaced parts to see if they're fit for the second hand market

I have one that I have still not fitted as yet. I want one because someone at Rover stole it from my 54 plate facelift 75.

Buy a second hand one, it won't break the bank. Give it a lick of paint and you are good to go.

I don't know if I will be able to tell if it's there or not because apparently the springs were updated a bit to counteract the lack of roll bar.
