Anti roll bar - do I need it?

Hi all,

I've just had to have the fuel tank etc out as I needed to repair the rear crossmember. (Replaced with box section).

Do I need to replace the anti roll bar for the MOT?

Cheers,

Jack

not if its not fitted

According to my mot tester when I asked him a few years ago, yes, if their is provision for one to be fitted - though his eyes aren't the best :/

My Disco 300 tdi failed the mot because I had removed it due to doing a 2 inch lift.
I had to fit spacers (tow bar spacers work fine) to the ARB to drop it by 2 inches.
However, my brother-in-laws Disco passed the mot with it removed, so I guess it depends on how strict your mot man is.

Mine has no problems passing the mot without them.

Thanks guys

A bit of a gamble then.

My biggest problem now is that my new box section "crossmember" doesn't let my bumper fit.

I'm going to have to taper the ends.

Some early one's didn't come with them

I didn't know that Channi. Thanks

As mine has one I guess I'd better refit it.

I wonder which early disco didn't have anti roll bars as the parts catalogue shows them for all model years up to LA and then from MA VINs.

When the RRC was fitted with HD springs (police spec) the recommendation then by LR was to remove the rear anti roll bar.

all early models that had them fitted ,it doesnt mean all vehicles

English please as that states nothing.

N'est pas?

My 93 V8 had never had one.

Don't know if you need one but my disco 300tdi hasn't had one since I've owned her in 4 years.

92,200tdi there is no sign of them ever being fitted maybe just one of a few

I think it depends on your tester,mine told me to take them off and hell pass it
