Would there be any noticeable benefit in fitting a rear axle roll bar to a 110 commercial van.
The brackets are on the chassis and axle. I assume that only 5 door station wagons were fitted with one as standard.

Early 110 did not use them. Then when the 300tdi came out they had the brackets and some were fitted.
I do not have either from or rear bars on mine & don’t notice any problems. It does stop the full axle droop when off roading though.
 
Anti-roll bars .... yes, that makes more sense .... cheers @Hicap phill

They are a torsion bar that restricts the ability for the rear axle to independantly articulate.
I had them on my 300TDi
Thery do make the car feel 'stiffer' on road and offten lead to a X-axle 'go nowhere' situation when off road.

They are currently up in my shed - would you like to buy them ?
I will go and dig them out and get some photo's if you're interested.

Thx for the reply and offer. I have access to an anti roll bar locally.
 
i was looking for the same answer to this question, my 300tdi 1998 110 van doesn't appear to have them, i've checked the rear at least and thats missing. i didn't know whether they were fitted to some and not others or whether they have been removed for better off road use

i use mine mostly on road and some mild green laning at the moment so considering whether i should fit them.
 
Made a difference on my 90 if that's any help.
Less roll and made the steering seem more direct.
Still go laning with it, made no difference but in general I don't do lanes where diff lock may be needed.
