Rear stabilizer bar

[Clem]

I am dead against the removal of stabiliser bars. I fitted – at a time – heavy duty Land Rover supplied rear springs to my Discovery 1. They came with an instruction to remove the rear anti-sway bar when fitting the springs. It very nearly cost us our lives.

Did the car flip over when breaking at speed?

Isnt the diso 1 very top heavy to begin with ? I am also a bit weiry of just taking them off but on the aus form the guys do it all the time too . I think if it can be disconnected when u do trails and put back when on the highway it will be best of both world's

Questions are though:
a) How much more flex do you really get out and;
b) How easy can it be made to disconnect and reconnect again

Gents,


My experience is that a pure suspension lift will not always give you the ultimate articulation. As the suspension lift increases (with long travel shocks) a limiting factor is the body’s position. In other words, as one wheel moves down the other side of the axel then moves up. The more the one moves down the more the other then lifts and with mine, eventually the wheel jammed up against the body. Only solution was to lengthen the bump stops, which then prevented the full potential articulation.
For me the ultimate would be a standard 50 mm lift with a 50 mm body lift. As for permanently removing the sway bars, no chance. Both front and rear will stay in place, with removal on specific trails only.
